About this listen

Ungentlemanly Warfare is a captivating historical thriller about a pivotal and dramatic event from the Second World War.

A soldier and a spy, an officer but not quite a gentleman, Captain Harry Walsh is SOE's secret weapon. Loathed by his own commanding officer, haunted by the death of his closest friend and trapped in a loveless marriage, Harry Walsh is close to burnout when he is ordered to assassinate the man behind the ME 163 Komet, Hitler's miracle jet fighter. If Walsh fails, there is no prospect of Allied victory in Europe. Harry Walsh is ruthless, unorthodox and ungentlemanly. He is about to wreak havoc....

Critic reviews

Praise for the author: "Linskey delivers a flawless feel for time and place, snappy down to earth dialect dialogue mixed in with unrelenting violence and pace." (The Times)

A fantastic story with marvellous characters. I can’t praise this highly enough. I don’t usually go for WWII tales, but am so glad I did. I hope there is a follow up and Harry stops being so noble. I long for him to have a really happy ending, even though so few SOE agents did in reality. In real life SOE is famous for being managerially utterly incompetent while the agents were beyond belief brave. Can’t recommend this highly enough. Oh, and if Johnathan Keeble ever wanted to seduce me, if he used Harry Walsh’s voice I would be his in an instant.

Absolutely fantastic tale, good pace and very well put together. Harry is the consummate low key hero. Excellent performance from Jonathan Keeble as always too.

Great story

Well narrated , variety of entertaining accents - apart from female love interest who came across as a camp male. Entertainingly portrayed characters, especially if you like 'allo 'allo.

Harmless Little Story
