An unlikely team of parachutists drop into Nazi Europe. A great adventure? An act of madness? An elaborate suicide? In Out of the Sky, Matti Friedman unravels one of the Second World War’s strangest episodes: an operation serving two masters hostile to each other, carried out by young women and men who, having escaped the Holocaust, chose to return on a secret mission whose goal remains unexplained. The author of The Spies of No Country joins historian Simon Sebag Montefiore to discuss this forgotten chapter of the war and the creation of the State of Israel.
