Christine Granville, G.M., O.B.E. and Croix de Guerre, one of the
most successful women agents of the Second World War and said to
have been Churchill's 'favourite spy', was murdered, aged 37, in a
London Hotel in 1952. Her actions as a British secret agent in
Poland, Hungary and France were legendary even in her lifetime and
she repeatedly risked her life to undertake dangerous missions. Her
exploits began after the fall of Poland when she became a British
agent; organising the escape of British prisoners-of-war, Polish
pilots and refugees and returning to Poland, her homeland, to set
up escape routes and report on German troop movements. Her capture
by the Gestapo led to a dramatic escape from Budapest in the boot
of a car followed by travels through Turkey and Syria to Cairo.
Christine is an inspiring and unforgettable true story.
