Description
Hardcover, 306 pages, published 2024. This book tells the story of the women who resisted the German occupation of Belgium and France during World War I. Eight women, from different backgrounds, took enormous risks to establish underground networks, transmit coded information, carry out sabotage attacks, and help repatriate Allied soldiers. Their bravery and determination had a significant impact on the course of the war. The women's actions were often perilous and exhausting, with severe penalties for those who were caught. Despite these risks, they produced extraordinary results, and their stories are a testament to the power of ordinary people doing extraordinary things in extraordinary circumstances. Rick Stroud's book is a fascinating and enthralling account of these remarkable women, beautifully told and revealing their inspiring work.
