About This Item

Cassell,, [1956]. 8vo., First Edition, with 23 plates on 12 and double-page map, some light offsetting from fold-ins to free endpapers black cloth, backstrip lettered in silver, top faintly dust-marked else a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. As the 'white mouse', Wake ran an early escape line from Marseille to Spain which returned many hundreds to freedom. Later she joined SOE in Buckmaster's F Section and commanded more than 7,000 Maquis in the Auvergne. Astonishingly, she was never caught and ended the war with the George Medal, three Croix de Guerre and the Resistance Medal. A feature film seems long overdue. SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. Enser, p.370.
