"Of all the variously talented women SOE sent to France, Nancy Wake was perhaps the most formidable." - Sebastian Faulks

This is the incredible true story of the greatest spy you’ve never heard of - as told to the author by the woman herself.

At the outbreak of World War Two, Nancy Wake’s glamorous life in the South of France seemed far removed from the fighting. But when her husband was called up for military service, Nancy felt she had just as much of a duty to fight for freedom. By 1943, her fearless undercover work even in the face of personal tragedy had earned her a place on the Gestapo’s "most wanted" list.

Mixing armed combat with a taste for high living, Nancy frustrated the Nazis at every turn - whether she was smuggling food and messages as part of the underground Resistance or being parachuted into the heart of the war to lead a 7,000-strong band of Resistance fighters.

The extraordinary courage of this unequalled woman changed the course of the war, and Russell Braddon’s vividly realised biography brings her incredible story to life.

I simply can't believe I hadn't heard about Nancy Wake before. Incredible story & well read. A great & exciting read. Years tick by & nearly everyone alive at this time in history has died. I hope memories like this help keep our eyes on current events, lest similar horrors ever happen again.

One incredible woman!

We need these stories especially in light of today’s news events that in many ways are repeating history. Will we ever learn?
World War II resistance fighters will never receive all the accolades they deserve but this story is another retelling of the sacrifices they made, of their bravery, and of their losses.
Simply reading or listening to this story will give them more of the recognition they deserve. While historical in the telling, the narrative is interesting and well worth the time spent reading/listening.

Excellent retelling of other war heroes

Loved the story, she was quite a woman! Did NOT like the narrator (man), reading her story. When he would break into a French accent (term used lightly), or a U.S. southern drawl, it was like fingernails on a chalkboard

Needs a woman narrator!

I listen to a lot of WW II stories but I especially like the ones which have women as the heroine. Nancy Wake was a great representation of the women fighting in the war.
That said, the story was somewhat difficult to follow as there were so many people involved.

Another WW II Story

I love Nancy's story but I'm very disappointed in the narration. The narrator's accents were atrocious!

Incredible story but awful narrator

This is one passionate individual! Love her commitment to her friends, family and country. Wish we had more patriots like her.

Good book.

Nancy Wake was an amazing woman who I had never heard of until I read this book. That's criminal. Her story should have been told as part of the teaching of World War II when I was in high schooll or at the very least in college. Her courage, her bravery, and her resourcefulness, her are things to be admired by persons of any era.

We hear about the French resistance, we hear about what happened in Paris, but we so rarely hear about what happened in the countryside and how many fetch l French citizens were involved. This story reveals more detail about the day-to-day life of the people who won the war behind enemy lives than any other is any other "history" I have read.
