A fascinating exploration of the many little known activities and personalities that helped the Allies win the war. Historian Andrew Chatterton reveals in his book the top-secret, highly trained and ruthless civilian volunteers recruited as early as the summer of 1940, primed and ready in case the Germans attempted an invasion. Clare Mulley tells the incredible story of the courageous resistance fighter Elżbieta Zawacka, also known as ‘Elizabeth Watson’ but more often as ‘Zo’ - the only woman to reach London as an emissary of the Polish Home Army command during the Second World War.
