OverviewWhat if the fate of Europe rested in the hands of one woman-working in silence, pulling the strings behind history's most dangerous missions? Have you ever wondered what kind of courage it takes to send someone into certain danger-and live with the consequences? What would you do if you trained the very people who never returned-but the world never knew your name? Would you chase the truth after war ended-or bury the guilt forever? This gripping true story uncovers the life of Vera Atkins, the brilliant yet mysterious intelligence officer who built and led a network of female spies during World War II.
