You know you can change your mind, don’t you? Even now. Even when you are halfway across the English Channel. Any time before you jump.’
‘Yes, I know,’ I quickly reassured her, ‘and I won’t.’

In June 1940, a covert new force – the Special Operations Executive (SOE) – was set up to wage a secret war. Its agents were tasked with sabotage and subversion behind enemy lines, and over the course of the next five years, 470 special agents would be sent into France. Only 26 female SOE agents would return. None before have told their story in their own words.

This is the astounding true story of Phyllis “Pippa” Latour, the last surviving SOE agent. Born in 1921, Pippa’s was an unusual childhood, followed by an even more extraordinary early adult life as she was parachuted into France aged 23. Incredibly brave, she travelled around the rural French countryside, concealing her codes in a hair tie and her Morse key underneath her bicycle seat, and sending crucial information back to Britain in the lead-up to D-Day. More than once she came frighteningly close to being discovered.

For decades, Pippa told no one – not even her family – of her incredible feats. Now for the first time, her story can be told in full.
