Christine Granville, O.B.E. and Croix de Guerre, was one of the most celebrated female agents of World War II. Said to have been Churchill’s “favorite spy,” her exploits in Poland, Hungary, and France were legendary, even in her lifetime. As an agent of the Special Operations Executive, Christine—the first woman to be dropped into France from Algiers—landed in the Vercors in 1944, where as “Pauline Armand,” she performed with tremendous valor. Christine is the thrilling tale of a fearless woman ready to die for freedom.

This review is from: Christine : SOE Agent & Churchill's Favourite Spy (Paperback)
Excellent. The best true story I have ever
read. Incredible person and fearless in times of danger. Will read the book again. More interesting also is that the writer actually met Christine on a trip after the war.

The story would have been interesting had it been done by another writer. This author was very dogmatic and gave no life to the story. Find another book.
