Victoire by Roland Phillipps
A true story in occupied Paris, 1940. A woman in a red hat and a black fur coat hurries down a side-street. She is Mathilde Carre, codenamed ‘the Cat’, later known as Agent Victoire. She is charismatic, daring and a spy: her story is one of heroism and survival against the odds.
With little training or support, Mathilde and her Polish collaborator, Roman Czerniawski, create a huge web of agents in a matter of weeks to form the first great Allied intelligence network of the Second World War. They risk torture and execution to deliver coded reports, London’s sole source of reliable information about the Occupation.
This is a story of a courageous, spy and hero. Highly recommended for those who like reading action/adventure and wartime stories.
Enjoy the holiday break.
