The battle of Britain is a very important part of the Second World War history. France had just fallen to the mighty German war machine, and the Isles were under the greatest threat ever since the time of Napoleon. Fortunately, Britain fought it off with the great help of all the talents she recruited throughout her worldwide empire.This story is about a Australian woman called Nancy Fiocca, who served as a British agent in the Second World War. While it is just a fiction, most of the story is based on the real life of Nancy Grace Augusta Wake, a leading figure in the French resistance during the war. Both in the book and in history, she was a key person to the Allied victory over the Nazis, and to the rescue of millions of lives who would be otherwise dead.What I like about this book is the research. The author certainly put a lot of time into it. When you consider the background of the author, it is not surprising. He used to be in the US Air Force before becoming a writer. In all, if you like war history, it is a book that you cannot miss.
