After living and working in Paris in the 1930's, Nancy married a wealthy Frenchman and settled in Marseilles. Her idyllic new life was ended by World War II and the invasion of France. Her life shattered, Nancy joined the French resistance and, later, began work with an escape-route network for allied soldiers. Eventually Nancy had to escape from France herself to avoid capture by the Gestapo. In London she trained with the Special Operations Executive as a secret agent and saboteur before parachuting back into France. Nancy became a leading figure in the Maquis of the Auvergne district, in charge of finance and obtaining arms, and helped to forge the Maquis into a superb fighting force. During her lifetime, Nancy Wake was hailed as a legend. Her autobiography recounts her extraordinary wartime experiences in her own words.©1985 Nancy Forward (P)2021 Bolinda Publishing Historical Military & War Women War

After reading “Code Name Helene” and finding out the subject of that book had written her own autobiography I knew I had to read it. I did and it did not disappoint!
I enjoyed it for its subject matter and its forthright style. The story of how Nancy Wake, an Australian woman living in France, came to be an active resistance worker in WWII is really fascinating.

Her style is blunt, direct - it resonates as if a straightforward person were telling you about their experiences directly with no literary artifacts.

Nancy becomes a real person to the reader very fast and her matter of fact way of dealing with the story is bracing.

A truly admirable individual!

What a scary and fulfilling life. To hear from the other parts of WW 2 , how they remained loyal, fought against tyrany and won.

power of love and friendship

The way Nancy’s account was read was bland and read too quickly without feeling; so for me, making Nancy sound a bit flippant and unfeeling about certain tragedies in her life, for example the death of her husband.

Amazing story of ordinary people doing the extraordinary for their country and in Nancy’s case her adopted country

What I liked about this audiobook is that it was told in chronological order. I have also listened to an audible book code name Helene about Nancy wake and it kinda went back-and-forth from past to present and I didn’t care for that format although the story was good.

Good audiobook

Too too fast. And no up and downs. Just reading it through word for word. No expressions and just too fast. I slowed it down but didn’t help. Just that same voice. There’s so many other voices that are so much better. Why hers? The one who did Helene (her story too) was 100% amazing! No problem no bordem and pauses. This is just gooooooooo onnnn and onnnnn. I am so very disappointed. I really wanted to hear this.

Amazing woman but the voice was
