Summary
D-Day Girls tells the true story of female secret agents recruited by Britain's Special Operations Executive during World War II. Author Sarah Rose chronicles how these women were trained in espionage, parachuted into Nazi-occupied France, and worked with the French Resistance to conduct sabotage operations and gather intelligence in preparation for D-Day. The book highlights their courage and contributions to the Allied victory, bringing to light the previously underappreciated role these pioneering female spies played in one of history's most critical military campaigns.
