A woman in a red hat and a black fur coat hurries down a side-street. She is Mathilde Carre, codenamed 'the Cat', later known as Agent Victoire. She is charismatic, daring, and a spy; her story is one of heroism and survival against the odds. These are the darkest days for France, half-occupied by Nazi Germany, half-governed by the collaborationist Vichy regime; and dark days for Britain, isolated and under threat of invasion. Yet Mathilde is driven by a sense of destiny that she will be her nation's saviour. With little training or support, Mathilde and her Polish collaborator, Roman Czerniawski, create a huge web of agents in a matter of weeks to form the first great Allied intelligence network","brand":"Vintage Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48088099357015,"sku":"9781847925817","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781847925817.jpg?v=1713545257","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/victoire-a-wartime-story-of-resistance-collaboration-and-betrayal-9781847925817","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
