Jubilee: Book One of The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare Series
by Conor Bender
Genre: History | Historical Fiction
Readers of After Dunkirk & Beneath a Scarlet Sky agree, Jubilee is an explosive World War II tale that weaves a story high over the skies of France and England and down on the beaches of Normandy.
From the beaches of Dieppe to the skies over Scotland, from the sub pens of Saint Nazaire to the lofty halls of the War Office.
Before OPERATION OVERLORD, there was OPERATION JUBILEE.
A cataclysmic waste of life lost on the whims of the political animals of the War Office.
Arthur Cutter passed his breaking point long ago. Barely old enough to buy a beer, he was recruited by the SOE out of Oxford. Now, forced to go back behind the lines for one last mission, his journey to retirement will bring him face to face with the French Resistance and will help shape the French theater of war.
Hundreds of miles away and twenty thousand feet above him, Ian Faraday, a burned-out American RAF pilot, trains a new crop of pilots in Scotland. As the lines between training and combat blur over the skies of Edinburgh, Faraday must rediscover his edge and ensure his students have what it takes to dogfight the aces of the Luftwaffe.
Back in France, Talia Crevier, a member of the French Resistance, struggles to be taken seriously as a member of the Maquis, and not judged by her gender and youth.
Finally, there is Malcolm Parker, an American Ranger, sent on a covert mission to study the British Commandos.
All their stories weave together in a tense tale of political intrigue, tragic loss, and high stakes as they are all maneuvered behind the scenes by shady political figures in the British War Office.
Award-winning, bestselling author Conor Bender delivers a story that twists and turns and drives multiple heroes towards the beaches of Dieppe.

The Vichy Treasury (The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare Series)
by Conor Bender
Genre: History | Historical Fiction
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare series continues with the introduction of a new hero.
Before Operation JUBILEE, there was The Vichy Treasury.
Smugglers, spies, and Nazis race for a billion-dollar treasure buried in the Sahara.
When the Nazi blitzkrieg ravaged France, a treasure of incalculable wealth was evacuated. A treasure of such worth that if the Nazis got their hands on it, it would spell the end of the war. A treasure in the form of the entire gold reserves of France, Belgium, & Poland. A treasure of such secrecy that few know its location.
Armed with this knowledge, Freddy Atkinson, the SOE’s fixer, has enlisted an unlikely recruit into the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Gavin Briggs, a down on his luck smuggler, isn’t who you imagine saving the day. In debt to the wrong people in Dakar, Gavin will do anything to save himself and his partners, including hunting for treasure in the desert.
But as Atkinson has his champion, so to do the Nazis. Rudolph Goethe, a cunning and respected Abwehr agent, is hot on the trail for the gold.
As Briggs & Goethe battle to find the treasure, someone else enters the race. Valerie Gaspard, a young, idealistic member of French West Africa’s high society, maneuvers to protect the bullion in her nation’s charge from both the Allies and the Nazis.
As powerful forces jockey for the gold, a scavenger hunt begins that leads across the desert and through the barren Sahels of the Sahara to find where the Vichy Treasury has been hidden.
