Fascinating historical subject matter in a book in nice condition. Subtitled: “ The Untold Story Of Sister Spies In Occupied France.” From the dust jacket liner notes: “ The death of an eccentric recluse is rarely an event for international headlines. But when the police were called to the tiny apartment of the elderly Eileen Nearne, they found a small bundle of possessions that told an amazing story. It was discovered that Eileen Nearne had been an agent for the British Special Operations Executive during the Second World War. Working undercover in Nazi-occupied France, she sent encoded messages of crucial importance for the Allies until her capture by the Gestapo. Astonishingly, Eileen was not the only spy in the family - her sister, Jacqueline, was also a British agent, working as a courier for the French Resistance. Rarely had two members of the same family sacrificed so much to such dangerous work. In this stunning account of triumph and tragedy, Susan Ottaway unveils the secret lives of two women who sacrificed themselves to defend their country, sisters who shoulder to shoulder during the darkest of days.”
