When elderly recluse Eileen Nearne died, few suspected that the quiet little old lady was a decorated WWII war hero. Volunteering to serve for British intelligence at age 21, Eileen was posted to Nazi-occupied France to send encoded messages of crucial importance for the Allies, until her capture by the Gestapo. Eileen was not the only agent in her family--her sister Jacqueline was a courier for the French resistance. While Jacqueline narrowly avoided arrest, Eileen was tortured by the Nazis, then sent to the infamous RavensbrUck women's concentration camp. Astonishingly, this resourceful young woman eventually escaped her captors and found her way to the advancing American army. In this amazing true story of triumph and tragedy, Susan Ottaway unveils the secret lives of two sisters who sacrificed themselves to defend their country. **Includes a Reading Group Guide exclusive to this edition.** 520 Tells the story of British special agents Eileen and Jacqueline Nearne, two sisters who risked everything to fight for freedom in Nazi-occupied France during the Second World War. 538 Requires Boundless App. 588 Description based on print version record. 600 10 Nearne, Eileen,|d1921-2010. 600 10 Nearne, Jacqueline,|d1916-1982. 600 17 Nearne, Eileen,|d1921-2010.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01947549 600 17 Nearne, Jacqueline,|d1916-1982.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01951770 610 10 Great Britain.|bSpecial Operations Executive. 610 17 Great Britain.|bSpecial Operations Executive.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00535600 611 27 World War (1939-1945)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 1939-1945|2fast 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xUnderground movements|zFrance. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xParticipation, Female. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xOccupied territories. 650 0 Spies|zGreat Britain. 650 0 Sisters|zGreat Britain. 650 0 Radio operators|zGreat Britain|vBiography. 650 0 Women spies|zGreat Britain|vBiography. 650 0 Spies|zGreat Britain|vBiography. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xSecret service|zGreat Britain |vBiography. 650 7 Radio operators.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01087419 650 7 Secret service.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01110661 650 7 Spies.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01129772 650 7 Women spies.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01178571 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204623 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biography.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423686 776 08 |iElectronic reproduction of (manifestation):|aOttaway, Susan.|tCool and lonely courage|dNew York : Little, Brown and Company, 2014|z9780316326988|w(NjBwBT)bl2014041172 |w(OCoLC)868040289 856 40 |uhttps://naper.boundless.baker-taylor.com/ng/view/library /title/0014316442|zFound on Boundless
