Description
The Spy Who Loved: The Untold Story of Churchill's Favourite Secret Agent
Christine Granville, codename The Spy Who Loved, was a remarkable woman who defied the odds to become MI6's first female recruit during World War II. Born into a Polish aristocratic family, she fled to Britain at the outbreak of war and went on to lead a life of incredible bravery and cunning.
From skiing into occupied Poland to parachuting into Nazi-occupied France, Christine's intelligence and determination played a significant role in the Allied war effort. Her story is one of remarkable courage and resilience, and Clare Mulley brings it vividly to life in this compelling biography.
