This engaging book by Candance Fleming advances the argument that teenage and young women were the backbone of British clandestine operations during WWII. Using pictures and first person accounts, Fleming draws the reader into an understanding of the whole picture of the operations through individuals’ experiences. The book also includes fascinating chapters on how to break codes. For readers of mystery and thrillers, this real life thriller may hit the spot.
