both illuminating and fascinating that this woman who was a refugee from Czechoslovakia managed to run this agency and was Churchills secret weapon in SOE

after the war ended she searched down the fate of 12 of her missing operatives none of whom lived

for this woman to be in this position at this time was so fascinating to me and her story is a barn burner you wont be dissapointed

This book sounds awesome! Thanks for leaving your post here today!
