内容简介
From an award-winning journalist comes this real-life
cloak-and-dagger tale of Vera Atkins, one of Britain’s premiere
secret agents during World War II.
As the head of the French Section of the British Special
Operations Executive, Vera Atkins recruited, trained, and mentored
special operatives whose job was to organize and arm the resistance
in Nazi-occupied France. After the war, Atkins courageously
committed herself to a dangerous search for twelve of her most
cherished women spies who had gone missing in action. Drawing on
previously unavailable sources, Sarah Helm chronicles Atkins’s
extraordinary life and her singular journey through the chaos of
post-war Europe. Brimming with intrigue, heroics, honor, and the
horrors of war, A Life in Secrets is the story of a grand,
elusive woman and a tour de force of investigative
journalism.
