A Life in Secrets…The story of Vera Atkins and the Lost Agents of SOE by Sarah Helm
(An account of the role of Special Operations Executive agents during the Second World War).
The book, A Life in Secrets, reveals the utter disregard for human lives through British incompetence and German savagery. On one hand, it highlights the naïve stupidity, the stubborn prejudices and inherent righteousness of the Allies, whilst condemning the evil brutality, the blind faith and the rigid obedience of the German war machine.
Failures and malpractice on both sides led to the unnecessary torture and deaths of individuals who had been led like ‘lambs to the slaughter’ for the sake of the ideological ambitions of those in power.
The book is a gripping exposé of the worst traits of the human race.
