Overview
- Summary
- "Formed in 1940, Special Operations Executive was to coordinate Resistance work overseas. The organization's F section sent more than four hundred agents into France, thirty-nine of whom were women. But while some are widely known--Violette Szabo, Odette Sansom, Noor Inayat Khan--others have had their stories largely overlooked."
