This is the true story of four women, members of the Special Operations Executive (SOE), who were sent into Nazi-occupied France during World War II, and then caught up in a web of deception which resulted in their deaths at the hands of the Gestapo. In this book, Rita Kramer pieces together the women's stories, how they came to be involved in such a dangerous operation as well as their experiences in France, and also analyzes the controversial methods of SOE at a crucial period in the war.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never to be forgotten, 1 May 2009

By	Mr. Paul B. White "Paul White" (Marshfield, Wiltshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A harrowing book about 4 SOE girls (for that is what they were, young 20 somethings), who gave their lives for a better future for us all.

We should never forget them, nor the atrocities inflicted on them by Nazism. This book, like the one by Sarah Helm about Vera Atkins of SOE, is at times hard to bear, such are the upsetting descriptions about their treatment. Sleep at times does not come easily after reading these passages.

I feel privileged to have known them through this book.
