Phyllis Latour: The Last of the Special Operations Executive's Secret Agents

Phyllis Latour: The Last of the Special Operations Executive's Secret Agents tells the extraordinary true story of Phyllis 'Pippa' Latour, the last surviving Special Operations Executive (SOE) agent from the Second World War.

From the terrifying moment her parachute caught in a tree upon landing, to losing her vital radio sets, facing capture by the Gestapo, and even being bombed by Allied planes, Pippa’s journey is a gripping tale of resilience and bravery. This real-life thriller captures her harrowing experiences and celebrates an unsung heroine of the Second World War.
