***
The memoir of Pippa Latour - the first and last female secret agent to share her experiences undercover during WW2.
In June 1940, a covert new force - the Special Operations Executive (SOE) - was set up to wage a secret war of sabotage and subversion behind enemy linesOf the 470 agents sent to France only 26 female agents returned and none have ever told their story before.
Phyllis "Pippa" Latour was parachuted into France aged 23; she bravely travelled around the rural French countryside, concealing her codes in a hair tie and her Morse key underneath her bicycle seat, and sending crucial information back to Britain in the lead-up to D-Day.
More than once, she came frighteningly close to being discovered.
For decades, Pippa told no one - not even her family - of her incredible featsNow for the first time, her astonishing story can be told in full.
