The full story of the 39 female SOE agents who went undercover in France.

Formed in 1940, Special Operations Executive was to coordinate Resistance work overseas. The organization's F section sent more than 400 agents into France, 39 of whom were women. But while some are widely known - Violette Szabo, Odette Sansom, Noor Inayat Khan - others have had their stories largely overlooked.

Kate Vigurs interweaves for the first time the stories of all 39 female agents. Tracing their journeys from early recruitment to work undertaken in the field, to evasion from, or capture by, the Gestapo, Vigurs shows just how greatly missions varied. Some agents were more adept at parachuting. Some agents' missions lasted for years, others' less than a few hours. Some survived, others were murdered. By placing the women in the context of their work with the SOE and the wider war, this history reveals the true extent of the differences in their abilities and attitudes while underlining how they nonetheless shared a common mission and, ultimately, deserve recognition.

A really interesting history which covers all the female SOE agents working in France during world war 2. This book gives an accurate and non sensational account of who they were, their training, their career in France and their fate. It is a compelling and fascinating set of facts, told in an engaging tone. The voice actor is great too.
Very worthwhile.

It meant boots on the ground with visual history passed on via wireless transfer to the home front in the rear with the safety of a channel between them and the enemy. These women and men did not have that safety. But stood among the enemy to gather information. Equal recognition needs to be given no matter the gender.

Before spy satellites and cell phones.
