Description: 8vo., First Edition, with 23 plates on 12 and a double-page map; cloth, backstrip lettered in silver, a very good, clean copy. Classic account of Wake's outstanding war service. As the 'white mouse' she 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. Enser, p.370.
