It has been said that 'it is through what we risk that we find out who we are and what we are made of'. This book demonstrates in detail the strengths of women who took extreme risks in the course of carrying out duties as agents in occupied countries and in doing so proved what they were made of. What makes these women so interesting is that they had the ability to turn what generally started out as an exciting adventure, into a job that had to be done. They could be so confident, strong, communicative and sometimes seductive while on a mission. Unlike men who play to win, these women played not to lose and it is this ability that most impressed me. Even when being put under pressure as events closed in on them they were able to remain totally engaged in what they were doing. Give me a Virginia Hall or a Noor Khan any day -or- in todays world give me a Hillary or Condoleeza!
