I know I was reading a historical fiction, but the great attention to detail and historical accuracy, plus a well written story almost had me convinced that it actually happened.  Historical fiction is a tough genre to execute correctly.  Often time, historical (real life) is pretty mundane, so the author has to add enough material for it to be interesting, yet believable.Jack Duarte does this perfectly.  After reading this book, I had to do a little research, and to my surprise most of the major characters in this story actually existed!Also if you didn’t already know, one of the main characters also has her own book.  Ok, to the plot.  The story is fiction account of Nancy Wake, but the book is not entirely about her.  The book covers her exploits of setting up underground networks for downed pilots to evade and escape German troops.  Her association with the Marquis, and the other vital operations she was involved in.  A very well written book.  I am by no means a historical fiction type, but this book was definitely entertaining.
