Anthony Morris "Tony" Brooks DSO MC (4 April 1922 – 19 April 2007), code name Alphonse, was an agent for the United Kingdom's clandestine Special Operations Executive (SOE) organization in France during World War II. The purpose of SOE was to conduct espionage, sabotage, and reconnaissance in countries occupied by Nazi Germany and other Axis powers. SOE agents allied themselves with French Resistance groups and supplied them with weapons and equipment parachuted in from England. Brooks received the Distinguished Service Order, Military Cross, Croix de guerre, and Légion d'honneur for his work as a leader of SOE's Pimento network sabotaging German reinforcements prior to and during the Normandy invasion. He later worked for the Foreign Office, and MI5 and MI6.

  • Anthony Morris Brooks (1922-2007) - dit Tony Brooks - fut, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un agent du service secret britannique Special Operations Executive. Il fut chef d'un réseau de la section F, le réseau PIMENTO, qui, à partir de juillet 1942, étendit son action en zone sud avec deux pôles principaux, l'un à Lyon, l'autre à Toulouse. Tony Brooks fut, avec Jean Renaud-Dandicolle, l'un des plus jeunes chefs de réseau de la section F. Il fut aussi l'un de ceux qui tinrent le plus longtemps (trois ans). Il fut certainement l'un des plus brillants, à la fois prudent, bon organisateur et doté d'un réel charisme. (fr)
