‘Extraordinary… enthralling. We may think we have read all we need to about the Second World War’s secret war, but despite an army of histories and fine biographies, Latour’s account is the only first-person memoir we have by a female agent within it. It’s also almost certainly the last. A darkly moving, marvellously detailed book.’ –Telegraph, 5 STARS
‘Vivid, honest, inspiring and sometimes shocking, Pippa Latour’s memoir shows how right the SOE were to assess her as having ‘”tons of guts”‘ -CLARE MULLEY, author of Agent Zo
‘A rare glimpse into the life of the last surviving SOE agent to have seen action behind enemy lines in France. Pippa’s story is one of immense courage and personal sacrifice… a truly gripping and remarkable wartime service.’ -HELEN FRY, author of Women in Intelligence
‘Vivid and vibrant. Pippa’s words echo with resonance across the pages, punctuated with historical context and fact.’ -KATE VIGURS, author of Mission France
‘Compulsively readable… A brilliant book.’ –Mail on Sunday
