Sandra Eden's War tells the story of an SOE (Special Operations
Executive) agent who is parachuted into France a few weeks before
D-Day, in 1944, to co-ordinate French Resistance operations in
disrupting German troop movements in and around Normandy. This is
necessary in order to assist the Allied soldiers soon to be landing
on the Normandy beaches. The tale is one of bravery and
resourcefulness, and gives an insight into the actions of the SOE,
which was set up by Winston Churchill in 1940 to 'set Europe
ablaze'. There were a number of female SOE agents who served with
honour and distinction during World War II. The author was inspired
to write Sandra's story after reading a number of true stories
regarding SOE agents during the war, including The White Mouse, an
autobiography of Nancy Wake who served in the SOE with great merit.
Nancy was one of the most highly decorated women of World War II.
She died in 2011.
