Inhaltsangabe
Nancy Wake, genannt "die weiße Maus" für ihre Fähigkeit, der Gefangennahme zu entgehen, erzählt ihre eigene Geschichte. Als die meistgesuchte Person der Gestapo und eine der am meisten dekorierten Soldatinnen des Krieges ist es eine Geschichte, die es wert ist, erzählt zu werden.
Nachdem Nancy in den 1930er Jahren in Paris gelebt und gearbeitet hatte, heiratete er einen reichen Franzosen und ließ sich in Marseille nieder. Ihr idyllisches neues Leben wurde durch den Zweiten Weltkrieg und die Invasion Frankreichs beendet. Ihr Leben zerbrach, Nancy schloss sich dem französischen Widerstand an und begann später mit einem Fluchtwegenetz für alliierte Soldaten. Schließlich musste Nancy selbst aus Frankreich fliehen, um die Gefangennahme durch die Gestapo zu vermeiden.
In London trainierte sie bei der Special Operations Executive als Geheimagentin und Saboteurin, bevor sie zurück nach Frankreich fiel. Nancy wurde eine führende Figur im Maquis der Auvergne, verantwortlich für Finanzen und Waffenbeschaffung und half dabei, die Maquis zu einer hervorragenden Kampfkraft zu schmieden.
Während ihres Lebens wurde Nancy Wake als Legende gefeiert. Ihre Autobiografie erzählt ihre außergewöhnlichen Kriegserfahrungen in ihren eigenen Worten.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Nancy Wake, nicknamed 'the white mouse' for her ability to evade capture, tells her own story. As the Gestapo's most wanted person, and one of the most highly decorated servicewomen of the war, it's a story worth telling. After living and working in Paris in the 1930's, Nancy married a wealthy Frenchman and settled in Marseilles. Her idyllic new life was ended by World War II and the invasion of France. Her life shattered, Nancy joined the French resistance and, later, began work with an escape-route network for allied soldiers. Eventually Nancy had to escape from France herself to avoid capture by the Gestapo. In London she trained with the Special Operations Executive as a secret agent and saboteur before parachuting back into France. Nancy became a leading figure in the Maquis of the Auvergne district, in charge of finance and obtaining arms, and helped to forge the Maquis into a superb fighting force. During her lifetime, Nancy Wake was hailed as a legend. Her autobiography recounts her extraordinary wartime experiences in her own words.
