Summary

Wartime espionage has fascinated generations. This nonfiction book tells the true stories of extraordinary women who put their lives on the line in the fight against tyranny and fascism. 

The Second World War saw Nazi tyranny spread across Europe. The intelligence war against the Nazis required many to risk their lives to gather information; among them, many women were called upon to fulfill this dangerous task. 

This unillustrated book explores the experiences of 16 key women whose stories are less often told in the recounting of World War II’s Allied intelligence operations. This collection of stories is a trove of inspiring material for women who are searching for a different angle of study on the well-covered World War II era. Offering a female perspective of this cataclysmic conflict brings a new and fresh view of the war. The Remarkable Lives of 16 WWII Women Spies includes: 

  • The daring true stories of 16 women and their realities of life as a female spy. 
  • The ins and outs of the various wartime intelligence agencies. 
  • Detailed accounts of what drove each woman to do their part. 
  • The many personal sacrifices made by these women. 
  • The personal experiences and situations of each of these women were all unique, but they were united in their opposition to fascism.

Each account is an inspiring true story of regular, everyday women doing their part in the war against Nazi Germany. They provide stirring stories of struggles against oppression, totalitarianism, and prejudice in a world of violence and upheaval. If you’re looking for a new avenue of study in the Second World War era and daring tales of extraordinary women, then The Remarkable Lives of 16 WWII Women Spies is the perfect place to start.
