Book ID/图书代码： 07980005B08638

English Summary/英文概要： Christine Granville, G.M., O.B.E. and Croix de Guerre, one of the most successful women agents of the Second World War and said to have been Churchill’s ‘favourite spy’, was murdered, aged 37, in a London Hotel in 1952. Her actions as a British secret agent in Poland, Hungary and France were legendary even in her lifetime and she repeatedly risked her life to undertake dangerous missions. Her exploits began after the fall of Poland when she became a British agent; organising the escape of British prisoners-of-war, Polish pilots and refugees and returning to Poland, her homeland, to set up escape routes and report on German troop movements. Her capture by the Gestapo led to a dramatic escape from Budapest in the boot of a car followed by travels through Turkey and Syria to Cairo. Christine is an inspiring and unforgettable true story.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 曾经荣获过法国军功十字章、英帝国勋章的Christine Granville是二战时期最杰出的女特工之一，据说她还是邱吉尔“最喜爱的间谍”，然而1952年，年仅37岁的Christine却在伦敦的一家酒店里被人谋杀了。她在短短的一生中到过波兰，匈牙利和法国为英国情报机构搞特工行动，这不得不算是传奇了，为了深入敌后，获得重要情报，她屡次冒生命，执行危险的任务。她出色的特工工作还是在波兰沦陷之后，开始为英国担任特工真正体现出价值：她组织英国战俘，波兰飞行员以及难民逃离波兰，然后回到自己的祖国波兰，安排逃逸路线，密切关注德国军队的行动。她被盖世太保逮捕后，并没有放弃逃生的欲望，而是巧妙地从汽车行礼箱中挣脱开，先后来到土耳其、叙利亚和开罗。Christine的故事鼓舞、激励人心，令人难以忘怀。

’This biography, stark, earthy, uplifting and bloodstained, deserves to be read even by those who are tired of war books. In Christine, Dostoyevsky, I suspect, would have found a heroine to his taste’ ---SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
