Over sixty female agents were sent out by Britain's Special
Operations Executive (SOE) during the Second World War. These women
- as well as others from clandestine Allied organisations - were
flown out and parachuted or landed into occupied Europe on vital
and highly dangerous missions. Their missions were as wireless
operators, couriers and sometimes organisers with resistance
movements both before and after D-Day. Bernard O'Connor relates the
experiences of these agents by drawing on a range of sources,
including many of the women's accounts of their wartime service.
There are stories of rigorous training, thrilling undercover
operations evading capture by the Gestapo in Nazi occupied France,
tragic betrayals and extraordinary courage.
