Condizione: New. Softback, 240 pagesPublished Price £12.99 One of the most determined and courageous secret agents of the Second World War, Harry Peuleve joined the BEF in 1940 before volunteering for F Section of the Special Operations Executive. On his first mission to occupied France to set up the SCIENTIST circuit, he broke his leg on landing and, after numerous close calls, made an heroic crossing of the Pyrenees on sticks in December 1942. Imprisoned, he escaped and eventually returned to England in May 1943. He formed a close friendship with Violette Szabo before setting out to train a Maquis group in central France. Despite the Gestapo's repeated attempts to catch him he built up a secret army of several thousand resistance fighters. Eventually betrayed and captured, he was tortured at Avenue Foch but never broken. By coincidence he and Violette met while in captivity before Harry was sent to Buchenwald where he not only avoided execution but also managed to escape reaching American lines in April 1945.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Clever, charismatic and daring, Mathilde Carre lived up to the image of the intrepid female spy. Codenamed The Cat, she co-founded the largest intelligence network in Occupied France and inspired her recruits to fight a secret war against the Germans. Carre delivered priceless information to the Allies, and her commitment to their cause seemed beyond question. But the reputation of The Cat hid a flawed and volatile personality, driven by a deadly combination of personal ambition, vanity and jealousy. When she finally fell into enemy hands, Carre chose to save herself rather than her comrades, betraying dozens of her own agents. Becoming her captor's mistress, she enjoyed a life of luxury in Paris and earned the respect of her new German masters. But when a secret affair with a British agent led her to escape to London, Carre's true intentions raised serious questions. How far could she be trusted, and where did her allegiances really lie? At her trial The Cat's extraordinary exploits were finally revealed to the public, transforming a resistance hero into a figure of public hatred. Condemned to death, she remained fiercely unrepentant to the end, presenting herself as a victim of circumstance rather than a willing traitor. Mathilde Carre was a fascinatingly complex and enigmatic character who worked for the French, British, Polish and German secret services and double crossed them all. The result of more than ten years' research, She Was The Cat is a story that poses questions about the boundaries between resistance and collaboration, and the power of myth and self-delusion. AUTHOR: Dr Nigel Perrin is a historian, writer and docent. For the last ten years has led private tours on Nazi occupation and resistance in Paris. He is also a regular reviewer for the Times Literary Supplement and other journals. His first book for Pen and Sword was Spirit of Resistance, a biography of SOE agent Harry Peuleve. 36 b/w illustrations Clever, charismatic and daring, Mathilde Carre lived up to the image of the intrepid female spy.
