Description
Nancy Wake: The Greatest Spy You've Never Heard Of At the outbreak of World War Two, Nancy Wake's life seemed far removed from the fighting. But when her husband was called up for military service, she felt she had just as much of a duty to fight for freedom. Her fearless undercover work, mixing armed combat with a taste for high living, frustrated the Nazis at every turn. From smuggling food and messages as part of the underground Resistance to being parachuted into the heart of the war to lead a 7,000-strong band of fighters, Nancy's extraordinary courage changed the course of the war. This biography brings her incredible story to life, revealing the remarkable woman behind the legend. A revised edition of this biography includes editorial revisions, ensuring that Nancy Wake's remarkable story is told with even greater accuracy and detail.
