Description
Behind Enemy Lines: A Study of Gender Relations in Wartime. Juliette Pattinson examines the experiences of male and female agents who infiltrated Nazi-Occupied France during World War II, recruited by the Special Operations Executive. Drawing on personal testimonies, official records, and film, this book explores how ordinary civilians were transformed into secret agents, equipped with silent killing techniques and trained in unarmed combat. The author focuses on the significance of gender and the agents' attempts to pass as French civilians, shedding new light on a lesser-known aspect of British socio-cultural history. This study makes a major contribution to war studies, gender studies, and British social history, offering a fresh perspective on the experiences of those who worked behind enemy lines.
