Churchill's Secret Commander - eBook Limited Special Launch Price

On June the 16th 1943, the British French journalist and war correspondent A.J. La Bern, captured in the British national press a glimpse of the formidable work unfolding behind the scenes of WWII:

“YES, Adolf, it’s coming! – Yes, German sentry, you’d better look out… Earlier in the day I had been conducted round three of the Combined Headquarters training bases by Lieutenant-Commander H. W. Goulding, D.S.O., RNR. Goulding is one of the many brilliant men who just live and breathe Combined Operations. The stories that are told about Goulding in wardrooms, messes and canteens are legion. One day they will be told….”

Churchill’s Secret Commander is not a conventional biography. It is an investigation based on a cache of documents discovered in the attaché case of Commander Harold Wilkinson Goulding DSO, hidden for over seven decades.

With his sudden death in 1945, his story remains fragmented, challenging us to connect the dots—not only through the scattered records of the Naval Intelligence Division he left behind, but also through the activities of those around him: the colleagues he worked with, the agencies he served and the covert amphibious units he commanded. Only by piecing together these elements can we begin to grasp the vital significance of Goulding’s role in Britain’s covert WWII operations.
