Phyllis Latour: The Last of the Special Operations Executive's Secret Agents tells the extraordinary true story of Phyllis 'Pippa' Latour, the last surviving Special Operations Executive (SOE) agent from the Second World War. Parachuted into Nazi-occupied Northern France just before D-Day, Pippa's mission was to report on German troop movements a task fraught with danger as Gestapo agents hunted for radio operators like her. With a life expectancy of just six weeks, Pippa relied on her courage, resourcefulness, and relentless training, yet she knew the odds were against her survival. From the terrifying moment her parachute caught in a tree upon landing, to losing her vital radio sets, facing capture by the Gestapo, and even being bombed by Allied planes, Pippas journey is a gripping tale of resilience and bravery. This real-life thriller captures her harrowing experiences and celebrates an unsung heroine of the Second World War.
