520 "Pearl Witherington Cornioley, one of the most celebrated
female World War II resistance fighters, shares her
remarkable story in this firsthand account of her
experience as a special agent for the British Special
Operations Executive (SOE). Told through a series of
reminiscences--from a difficult childhood spent in the
shadow of World War I and her family's harrowing escape
from France as the Germans approached in 1940 to her
recruitment and training as a special agent and the
logistics of parachuting into a remote rural area of
occupied France and hiding in a wheat field from enemy
fire--each chapter also includes helpful opening remarks
to provide context and background on the SOE and the
French Resistance. With an annotated list of key figures,
an appendix of original unedited interview extracts--
including Pearl's fiance; Henri's story--and fascinating
photographs and documents from Pearl's personal collection,
this memoir will captivate World War II buffs of any age"-
