Book excerpt: She was beautiful. She was ruthless. Recruited at the age of twenty-three by legendary spymaster William Stephenson - code name: Intrepid - Vera Atkins undertook countless perilous missions in the 1930s. Her fierce intellect, personal courage, and facility with languages quickly propelled her to the leadership echelon of the Special Operations Executive (SOE), a covert intelligence agency formed by Winston Churchill. During World War II, she became Great Britain's spymistress. Her agents penetrated deep behind enemy lines, aided resistance fighters, destroyed vital targets, helped Allied pilots evade capture, and radioed information back to London. They were prepared to die to liberate Europe from the Nazis. Vera Atkins was demobilized in 1947. Author William Stevenson was the only person she trusted to record her life - as he had done for her one-time recruiter, Intrepid - with one condition: He would not publish her biography until after her death. Here is her incredible story. Book jacket.
