The Last Secret Agent The Untold Story of my Life as a Spy behind Nazi Enemy Lines

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. A lightly read copy. Very good. Born in 1921, Pippa Latour was trained by the British Special Operations Executive and parachuted into Normandy in 1944. Fluent in multiple languages and skilled in coding, she posed as a teenage soap-seller, gathering intelligence from German soldiers and sending coded messages back to England. She hid her codes on a piece of silk threaded through a shoelace and worn as a hair tie, bicycled across the countryside, and often slept rough while foraging for food. Over the course of her mission, she sent 135 secret messages that helped shape the Allied strategy leading up to D-Day. Her work continued until the liberation of Paris in August 1944. For decades, Pippa kept her wartime experiences secret?even from her family. Now, with the help of Jude Dobson, her story is told in full for the first time. The book has been praised for its vivid storytelling and emotional depth, offering a rare glimpse into the courage and sacrifice of a woman whose actions helped change the course of history.
