Publisher Description
The White Mouse: Gestapo's Most Wanted tells the extraordinary true story of Nancy Wake during one of the darkest chapters in modern history. This new biography traces Nancy's path across the globe, from her youth in Australia, to New York, London, Paris, and Marseilles – and her evolution from free-spirited journalist to wartime hero. When Europe slid towards war, Nancy found herself swept into the heart of the Resistance movement in Marseilles. And she chose to make a difference. What followed was a life marked by extraordinary courage, personal sacrifice, and unwavering defiance. Drawing on interviews, personal anecdotes, and rich historical detail, the book offers a full account of Nancy Wake's life. It focuses not only on her most dangerous exploits but also examines the motivations and early influences that drove her to top the Gestapo's Most Wanted List and become a leader in the Maquis. Her journey will take the reader from suburban Australia to daring missions behind enemy lines. More than just a tale of espionage, this is a story of risk, resilience, and the woman who made a vow to never look away from injustice - and kept it. Interwoven with historical context and dramatically retold, The White Mouse brings Nancy Wake's courage and character to life, reclaiming her place in a period of history often dominated by men. For readers drawn to stories of defiance, resilience, and unsung wartime heroism, this is both an engaging biography and a reflection on bravery in the face of crisis. AUTHOR: Ali Sharman lives in the Northwest of England with her husband, two sons and fluffy dog. A former teacher, she has taught English at home and abroad. She has also travelled extensively and is fascinated by different cultures and histories. She is now a PhD candidate at Keele University, researching how literature is influenced by periods of crisis, and a freelance writer. Ali's poetry and short stories have been published both online and in print. 32 b/w illustrations
