NOTES

Read by Kate Reading

In a dramatically different tale of espionage and conspiracy in World War II, Shadow Warriors of World War II unveils the history of the courageous women who volunteered to work behind enemy lines.

Their heroism, initiative, and resourcefulness contributed to the Allied breakout of the Normandy beachheads, and they even infiltrated Nazi Germany at the height of the war, into the very heart of Hitler's citadel-Berlin. Young and daring, the female agents accepted that they could be captured, tortured, or killed, but others were always readied to take their place. Women of enormous cunning and strength of will, the Shadow Warriors' stories have remained largely untold-until now
