I heartily recommend it to all who like spy stories. This is not fiction -- it is the real thing. From a Book Review: It is extraordinary. She reports that Sir Winston Churchill told her to tell the absolute truth and she does so.She tells an amazing story of being Jay Bee, a member of a secret circle of agents, taking orders directly from Churchill and the operatives who reported to him directly.She tells us what it was like to be an agent of the British government, in touch with the Resistance, in occupied France during WW II.Her exploits are stupendous. She has a photographic memory. She speaks French fluently, and therefore is able to operate effectively in occupied France.What was most inspirational and astounding to me was her faith in the human spirit and eventual world peace, in the midst of war, torture, and horror.Despite her direct experience with some of the most horrific atrocities in the history of humankind, she still believes in the inherent goodness of human beings.
