VIOLETTE SZABO: THE LIFE THAT I HAVE
Book ID/图书代码： 00530014B76078
English Summary/英文概要： A beautiful young widow and mother of a small daughter, Violette Szabo undertook two secret missions to France in 1944 as an agent for the Special Operations Executive. Just after D-Day, a few days into her second mission, she was arrested following a gun battle and sent to Ravensbrück, the women’s concentration camp near Berlin, where she was executed at the beginning of 1945.
The first edition of this book, published in 2002, was written with the cooperation of some of Violette’s family members – in particular her elder brother Roy and her daughter Tania – as well as several of her friends and two of the only three SOE agents to survive incarceration in Ravensbrück. The author was also given access to letters written about his daughter by Violette’s father, Charles Bushell, which had never before been made public and remain in a private collection to this day.
This updated edition contains more information, available following the release of documents in 2003, which poses questions about Violette’s relationship with her family and highlights anomalies in the way the official version of Violette’s story was told.

Awards/获奖情况：“这是一本不折不扣的好书，我极力推荐它！谋篇布局都恰到好处，作者真实地再现了女中豪杰Violette的人生，纠正了电影《女英烈传》中的一些错误观点！”I enjoyed and recommend this book. Well-written and well-researched, it draws on Szabo’s file in the National Archives to put right the inaccuracies of the much-earlier book and film, "Carve Her Name With Pride".
