A covert agent’s memoir of three perilous missions in Nazi-occupied Paris, told with “unconditional honesty” (Kirkus Reviews). At first, John Goldsmith’s services were consistently refused. But in 1942, he was recruited into Buckmasters F Section of the Special Operations Executive—and his wartime exploits would be remarkable. His faultless French and upbringing in Paris were to prove invaluable. After intensive training he was parachuted into France for the first of his three missions. His adventures included crossing the Pyrenees, sabotage, forming his own circuits, being captured by the Gestapo, a daring escape, and black-marketeering. In 1944, he was advisor to the Maquis guerrillas in the Mont Ventoux area, where they fought the Germans in pitched battles and won. In this candid autobiography, he vividly recounts his dramatic and dangerous World War II adventures.

In the Anthropocene, the fact that human activity is enmeshed with the existence and actions of every kind of other being is inescapable. As a result, the planetary ecological crisis has brought forth an urgent need to rethink understandings of human action. One response holds that the transformations necessary to tackle today’s crises will emerge from the distinctive capacity of human beings to transcend their environment. Another school of thought calls for seeing action as composite, produced by distributed networks of human and nonhuman agents. Yet the first of these is open to charges of human exceptionalism, while the second, according to its critics, lacks effective political traction. Martin Crowley argues that a new conception of political agency is necessary to break this impasse. Engaging with thinkers such as Bruno Latour, Bernard Stiegler, and Catherine Malabou, Crowley proposes an original account of agency as both distributed and decisive. Challenging the prevailing view of agency as exclusively human, he explores how a politics that incorporates nonhuman agency can intervene in the real world, examining timely issues such as climate-related migration and digital-algorithmic politics. A major intervention into ongoing debates in posthumanism, political ecology, and political theory, Accidental Agents reshapes our understanding of political agency in and for a more-than-human world.

“To paraphrase a line from the movie Jerry McGuire, ‘This book had me from “Hello.”’...powerful..."—Rose Hooper, The Sylva Herald The Montserrat volcano forces an international drug lord from his home, setting in motion a chain of events that leads through boat explosions; mid-air plane conflagrations; chases through rush hour streets of Atlanta and Chicago; back-alley machine gun killings and the works of one of the world’s best sociopathic hit-men. Brian Withers wants to live his life quietly, teaching college, but the FBI and the drug ring both find him an attractive cover for gathering information. Brian and his wife Susannah are pulled constantly deeper into a world they never envisioned…purely by accident. A wealthy Chicago widow is determined to spend her fortune tracking down and killing those who had a hand in the drug death of her teen son. A bag lady covers the underside of Chicago to arrange a death. A Greek fisherman whose wife is dying an expensive death, an escaped murderer who would kill again with ease, a retarded man who doesn’t know the evil he is assisting; all come together on the Panhandle coast of Florida, Carrabelle, Apalachicola and Panama City. So skillfully plotted and propelling the reader needs to clear his calendar for the next three days before reading the first page.
