Books
In June 1940, a covert new force - the Special Operations Executive (SOE) - was set up to wage a secret war. Its agents were tasked with sabotage and subversion behind enemy lines, and over the course of the next five years, 470 special agents would be sent into France. Only 25 female SOE agents would return. None before have told their story in their own words. This is the astounding true story of Phyliis 'Pippa' Latour, one of the last female SOE agents to get out of France alive after its liberation in WWII.
