About this product

Product Information

Two sisters. Two special agents. One War. Sisters, Secrets and Sacrifice is the incredible true story of British special agents Eileen and Jacqueline Nearne, two sisters who risked everything to fight for our freedom during the Second World War. The death of an eccentric recluse is rarely an event to be given more than a few lines in a local newspaper. But when, in September 2010, police were called to a tiny, cluttered flat in Torquay and discovered the body of local 'cat lady' Eileen Nearne, they also found a small bundle of possessions that told an amazing story. For Eileen Nearne had been an agent for the Special Operations Executive during the Second World War, going undercover in Nazi-occupied France to send wireless messages of crucial importance to the Allies. Astonishingly, Eileen was not the only special agent in the family - her sister Jacqueline had also been an SOE. Rarely had two members of the same family sacrificed so much to such dangerous work. Sisters, Secrets and Sacrifice pays tribute to these fiercely patriotic women with hearts of courage, who fought for freedom at much personal cost. While Jacqueline narrowly avoided capture several times, tirelessly couriering secret documents for the resistance, Eileen was arrested and tortured by the Gestapo before being incarcerated at Ravensbruck concentration camp. She was only 23. This is a true story of triumph and tragedy, of two sisters who sacrificed themselves to defend our freedom, who stood shoulder to shoulder during the darkest of days.

Sisters, Secrets and Sacrifice, The True Story of WWII Secret Operatives Executives in WWII, Susan Ottaway
Brilliant. So brave. This book should be read by everyone, young and old. The Germans try to re-write History to put themselves in a better light, but this book tells it how it was. The women concerned in the book were so young yet so brave. The men too. The Germans on the other hand were sadists. The Americans could not believe what they were being told even when confronted with piles and piles of dead bodies and women who were little more than living skeletons. If you have any doubts about what really happened this book is a MUST READ. The worrying thing is that it could all happen again. The Germans have not changed. To stand aside in disbelief is quite understandable but this book is backed with concrete evidence of what really happened. The book is testament to the ... Brilliant. So brave. This book should be read by everyone, young and old. The Germans try to re-write History to put themselves in a better light, but this book tells it how it was. The women concerned in the book were so young yet so brave. The men too. The Germans on the other hand were sadists. The Americans could not believe what they were being told even when confronted with piles and piles of dead bodies and women who were little more than living skeletons. If you have any doubts about what really happened this book is a MUST READ. The worrying thing is that it could all happen again. The Germans have not changed. To stand aside in disbelief is quite understandable but this book is backed with concrete evidence of what really happened. The book is testament to the cruelty, the unwarranted sadism, the brutality, the casual disposal of people and their bodies is all here. This is not a book specifically about these two women, it is about members of the SOE who put their lives on the line to save others. It is about French civilians who defied the Germans, about the human spirit and how these people survived against all the odds. Do not dismiss it because of the picture on the front of the book which does not do the book justice. It is not a book for youngsters, but they must know the truth.

A true spy story.
A moving and compelling story of heroism and sacrifice of the highest order. Forget spy novels, this tells what it was really like to be a SOE agent, and the cost to the individual.
