This issue, we are giving away three copies of The White Lady, Helen Fry’s examination of British secret-service networks behind Germanlines.
Intelligence gathering was essential to both sides in the World Wars. At the heart of MI6’s efforts were two key networks in Belgium. Agents in the White Lady acted as couriers, radio operators, and spies to facilitate the end of German control during WWI. And when war broke out again, the leaders of the network regrouped and established a successor: the Clarence Service.
Drawing on recently declassified information, Helen Fry charts the history of these pivotal intelligence networks, examining who the agents were, how they were recruited, and how the intelligence they gathered directly impacted the outcome of both wars.
This issue, three lucky winners will each receive a copy of the book, courtesy of Yale University Press.
