None Stood Taller - The Price of Freedom - Paperback

by Peter J. Turnham (Author)

From the best selling author of "None Stood Taller".This book both concludes the series, and provides an introduction for new readers.

In 1941 when Dorothy Archer saw the opportunity to serve her country, she didn't hesitate. A woman escaping her past, she had no prospects, nothing to lose. Perhaps destiny dictated that the Special Operations Executive should recognise the very special talents that even Dotty is unaware of. A charismatic personality, she can be flirtatious and charming, but also proves to be a fearless assassin! Dotty finds herself torn between those contradictions. Beyond the murky world she inhabits, she struggles with life and relationships. The only man she is ever able to love, is also a part of that world. Dotty is a reluctant hero, who pays the price of freedom.

Thirty-nine women served in Occupied France as SOE field agents during WW2. Dotty owes more to those thirty-nine than anything in the author's imagination. Although a work of fiction this book is deeply rooted in historic detail. The contribution that the SOE made during WW2 is brought to life through the story of Dorothy Archer. Her life and loves are a true reflection of the period.
