A Life in Secrets

Audiobook

From an award-winning journalist comes this real-life cloak and dagger tale of Vera Atkins, one of Britain's premier 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 organise and arm the resistance in Nazi-occupied France. After the war, Atkins courageously committed herself to a dangerous search for 12 women spies missing in action. Drawing on previously unavailable sources, Sarah Helm chronicles Atkin's extraordinary life and her singular journey through the chaos of post-war Europe. Brimming with intrigue, heroics, honour, and the horrors of war, this is the story of a grand, elusive woman and a tour de force of investigative journalism.
