Sisters, Secrets and Sacrifice: The True Story of WWII Special Agents by Susan Ottaway |
A true story about two sisters, the sacrifices they made and the courage they showed during WW II; a book which I was unable to put down. I had not realised how many young women gave their lives as special agents, and how those who survived never really recovered from their experiences.Their story, which only came to light after the death of a recluse, became headlines worldwide. I wonder whether, should this sacrifice be needed now, the response would be same? A must-read.
