Review
'Fascinating ... a hugely engaging account, that weaves the women's stories together with increasing momentum towards its poignant conclusion.' -- Clare Mulley * Spectator * 'Gripping' -- Marcus Binney * Country Life * `Written with genuine vigour, this book pays tribute to truly outstanding female bravery.' -- Elizabeth Fitzherbert * The Lady * `In this superb book, Rick Stroud honours their awe-inspiring bravery and self-sacrifice by telling their stories with an historian's attention to detail and a novelist's empathy and sense of drama... it is a pacy chronological account... vividly and concisely delivered by a writer with an encyclopaedic knowledge of World War Two.' * The Herald * `Each of the lives that Stroud relates so well offers a shining example of heroism - dauntless, patriotic readiness to risk everything for the cause of human decency.' -- Nigel Jones * Sunday Telegraph * `Stroud has a storyteller's eye for human detail matched with a researcher's diligence.' * Independent on Sunday * `This compelling and complete account of the extraordinarily courageous women of SOE is at turns enthralling, edge-of-seat exciting and also heartbreaking. It is a reminder and fitting testimony to their immense bravery.' -- James Holland `A fascinating, superbly researched and revelatory book - told with tremendous pace and excitement.' -- William Boyd

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardcover. First Edition. Lonely Courage. The True Story of the SOE Heroines Who Fought to Free Nazi-Occupied France. There were 39 female agents recruited from all walks of life, ranging from a London shop assistant to a Polish arostocrat. What linked them was that they knew France well, were fluent in French and were prepared to sacrifice everything to help defeat the enemy. The women trained along side the men, learrning how to disappear into the background, how to operate a radio transmitter and how to kill a man with their bare hands. Once trained, they were infiltrated behind the lines by parachute or tiny aircraft that could land in remote fields. Some of the women went on to lead thousands of Resistance fighters, while others were arrested, brutally interrogated and sent to concentration camps, where they endured torment and death. This book tells their story and sheds light on what life was really like for these brave women who tumbled from the sky. Illustrated. 295 pp.we carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.)
