description: It's Not for the War.Marian Sutro would be just another young English woman wondering whom she'll marry and how to find a way to be useful. But World War II has turned everyone's life inside out. Marian happens to be bilingual (her father is English her mother French) and is recruited by the Inter-Services Research Bureau and enrolled in a rigorous take-no-prisoners espionage training course to aid the French resistance. Or at least that's what Marian thinks at first. But as she learns more about the risky operation her superiors have in mind for her in occupied Paris she begins to suspect that it may be a more personal connection that singled her out for assignment. A name from her past Clement Pelletier suddenly reappears forcing Marian to call into question her first love her dangerous mission and how far she's willing to go for the cause.
