Vera Atkins was a key Intelligence office in SOE who co-ordinated the preparation and placement of over 400 agents in France. After the war when it was known that over 100 agents were missing, including 16 women, Vera launched a single handed search to establish what had become of each of them. She followed the trail into the concentration camps, then pursued those who had committed atrocities and gave evidence at their War Crimes Trials. The author's research involved interviews with many of the families of those agents, and Vera Atkin's colleagues at SOE.
