the story of post-war Berlin from 1945 to 1949, when the city was divided between the four victorious powers – the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union. Milton's narrative reveals how the veneer of civility between the Western allies and the Soviets was to break down in spectacular fashion as rival systems, ideologies and personalities turned the German capital into a dangerous battleground. Milton's book focuses on the leading characters, including commandant of Berlin's American sector Col Frank L. Howley, his Soviet opposite number, General Alexander Kotikov and the British Deputy Director Brigadier Robert Hinde. It draws on unpublished diaries, memoirs and interviews from The National Archives, Imperial War Museum, United States Army War College and the National Archives and Records Administration. D-Day: The Soldiers' Story D-Day: The Soldiers' Story is Milton's eleventh work of narrative history. It narrates the events of D-Day - 6 June 1944 - through the tales of survivors from all sides: teenage Allied conscripts, German defenders and French resistance fighters. The narrative reveals the terror of those trapped in the frontline of Operation Overlord. It also gives voice to some who have hitherto remained unheard – the French butcher's daughter, the Panzer Commander's wife, the chauffeur to the General Staff. The research was drawn from original source material: oral interviews, handwritten diaries and typescript accounts. Milton's gave voice to the raw, unvarnished experiences of those who were there. The book was published on 20 September 2018 in the UK and in 2019 in the USA.

It tells the story of a secret irregular warfare organisation that was founded in London in the spring of 1939. Its purpose was to plot the destruction of Hitler's war machine through acts of sabotage. Starting as two separate but linked organisations, Section D and MI(R), it was later expanded into two new organisations, the Special Operations Executive and MD1. These worked together, with SOE plotting missions and training saboteurs and MD1 producing bespoke weaponry. Six key individuals worked at the heart of these two guerrilla units: Colin Gubbins, Millis Jefferis, Cecil Vandepeer Clarke, Eric A. Sykes, William Fairbairn and George Rheam. These gentleman mavericks, who were all creative in their approach to warfare, planned
