If the intelligence/SOE component of WWII interests you, I cannot recommend enough the book "Bodyguard of Lies" by Anthony Cave Brown. Some of his conclusions and theories have been proven inconsistent in the light of new information (declassified since 1975) but it remains the most comprehensive work on the subject I'm aware of.
