Author and public historian Dr. Kate Vigurs divulges the remarkable history of the 39 women secret agents of the SOE. Trained in Britain, these spies from across the world parachuted into France where they organized the maquis, coordinated with the Allies and skirmished with the Nazi occupiers. Nancy Wake, Virginia Hall, Violette Szabo and Noor Inayat Khan are just some of the names of the daring women who risked, or even gave their lives for the liberation of France.
