Description
The remarkable story of three Dutch teenage girls who became spies, saboteurs, and WWII heroes is told in this book. Exhaustively researched and written with authority and style, it's a history that reads like a novel. In May 1940, Nazi Germany occupied the Netherlands in just seven days, and three teenage girls - Hannie, Truus, and Freddie - joined a resistance cell in Haarlem to fight back. With nothing to lose but their lives, they took direct action against Nazi targets, sheltering Jews, dissidents, and fellow resisters, sabotaging bridges and railways, and carrying out assassinations. Their bravery and cunning were matched only by their dedication to the cause, and their story offers a unique perspective on the Dutch resistance during WWII. This book tells the story of their lives under threat, how they became involved in the underground, and how their missions evolved into life-threatening endeavors on behalf of Dutch patriots. Tim Brady's book is a testament to the courage and resilience of these three young women, whose extraordinary story has been largely unknown until now.
