Daniel Stuelpnagel said Squandered Potential. So much potential, difficult to say whether this book is really worth reading, as it is more like half a novel, the author has created a wonderful foundation in so many aspects, yet does his protagonist and his readers a disservice with a hasty conclusion and two broken promises.Disappointing because the majority of the s. S. McGee said Familiar territory, but a gripping and suspenseful yarn. Plenty of novelists have tackled the irresistibly suspenseful material that World War II espionage offers, and many of them have honed in on the activities of the women of the French section of the SOE, the ultra-secret group assigned by Churchill to "set Europe ablaze". Off the top of my head, I can bring to mind novels . he's the best hawley bigelow Seriously, one of the best books I have read. Took me a while to read. Also the Glass House was fascinating.

There is violence, and there is love. But above all there is Marian Sutro, an ordinary young woman who, like her real-life counterparts in the SOE, did the most extraordinary things at a time when the ordinary was not enough.. It is this that attracts the attention of the SOE, the Special Operations Executive, which trains agents to operate in occupied Europe. The outcome could affect the whole course of the war. A fascinating blend of fact and fiction, Trapeze is both an old-fashioned adventure story and a modern exploration of a young woman’s growth into adulthood.

But there’s more to Marian’s mission than meets the eye of her SOE controllers; her mission has been hijacked by another secret organization that wants her to go to Paris and persuade a friend—a research physicist—to join the Allied war effort.
I was about ten when my mother passed the book on to me. Living a clandestine life under false identities these men and women were not spies. The reason for my mother’s interest was that at the time of her recruitment Anne-Marie was a WAAF (member of the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force), serving alongside my mother at Fighter Command HQ in Stanmore just north of London. Among the western Allies these were the only women to be trained for combat and between 1941 and 1944 fifty women agents of F Section were infiltrated into France. Since the war particular SOE exploits have gained much attention – the attack on the Norwegian heavy water plant in Rjukan and the assassination of Heydrich in Prague being among the best known – but it is surely the French operations which capture the imagination, and in particular, the story of the women agents of F Section. Even my father had a connection to this intrepid young woman. As An
