'Of all the variously talented women SOE sent to France, Nancy Wake
was perhaps the most formidable' -Sebastian Faulks This is the
incredible true story of the greatest spy you've never heard of-as
told to the author by the woman herself. At the outbreak of World
War Two, Nancy Wake's glamorous life in the South of France seemed
far removed from the fighting. But when her husband was called up
for military service, Nancy felt she had just as much of a duty to
fight for freedom. By 1943, her fearless undercover work even in
the face of personal tragedy had earned her a place on the
Gestapo's 'most wanted' list. Mixing armed combat with a taste for
high living, Nancy frustrated the Nazis at every turn'whether she
was smuggling food and messages as part of the underground
Resistance or being parachuted into the heart of the war to lead a
7,000-strong band of Resistance fighters. The extraordinary courage
of this unequalled woman changed the course of the war, and Russell
Braddon's vividly realised biography brings her incredible story to
life. Revised edition: This edition of Nancy Wake includes
editorial revisions.
