Spymistress: The Life of Vera Atkins, the Greatest Female Secret Agent of World War II

This book brings to life one of the female greats of WW2 in that she not only took risks herself but she recruited other women she intuited would also be able to take risks. These wormen were saboteurs and radio operators sending important and vital information back to base in England. Supported by Winston Churchill, and condemned by other members of the British spy networks of WW2.Vera Atkins retired to a quiet and unexciting life until she died in older age. Anyone who has an interest in WW2 spying and the efforts of young women working undercover in France, will find this book arresting, informative, and a must read.
