Secret War tells the French Fiasco, Britain's four-year clandestine campaign behind enemy lines in occupied France, anchored by the formidable Vera Atkins of the SOE. I love a wartime story where a meticulous woman quietly ran a network of agents into the dark. Many did not come back, and Atkins spent years afterward tracking down what happened to them. A gripping, sombre chapter of the secret war and the human cost of it.
