WOMEN IN INTELLIGENCE: THE HIDDEN HISTORY (PB)

A groundbreaking history of women in British intelligence, revealing their pivotal role across the first half of the twentieth century. It reveals how women took on an extraordinary range of roles in intelligence, defying the conventions of their time. Across both world wars, far from being a small part of covert operations, they ran spy networks and escape lines, parachuted behind enemy lines, and interrogated prisoners. And, back in Bletchley and Whitehall, women's vital administrative work in MI offices kept the British war engine running. Filled with hitherto unknown stories, it places new research on record for the first time and showcases the inspirational contributions of these remarkable women.
