Description
Vera Atkins was a woman who rose to the top of Britain's secret service during World War II. Her story is one of remarkable achievement and secrecy. Drawing on recently released government files and unprecedented access to family papers, Sarah Helm vividly reconstructs a complex and extraordinary life. Atkins's journey to the heart of Special Operations Executive, or SOE, is a testament to her intelligence, courage, and determination. This is a story of a woman who played a crucial role in the resistance efforts in Nazi-occupied countries, and whose legacy has only recently begun to be fully understood. Helm's book offers a fresh and compelling look at a fascinating period in history, and a remarkable individual who helped shape it.
