To "set Europe ablaze," in the words of Winston Churchill, the Special Operations Executive had to do something unprecedented: recruit women as spies. Thirty-nine answered the call, leaving their lives and their families to become saboteurs in France. They destroyed train lines, ambushed Nazis, plotted prison breaks, and gathered crucial intelligence--laying the groundwork for the D-Day invasion that provide to be the turning point in the war."--Back cover.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Library For The Blind and Print Disabled Large Type LT 940.54864 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList
