This New York Times bestseller by the author of A Man Called Intrepid tells the true story of a legendary female spy and holder of the Legion of Honor.

She was stunning. She was ruthless. She was brilliant and had a will of iron. Born Vera Maria Rosenberg in Bucharest, she became Vera Atkins. William Stephenson, the spymaster who would later be known as “Intrepid,” recruited her when she was twenty-three.

Vera spent most of the 1930s running too many dangerous espionage missions to count. When World War II began in 1939, her numerous skills made her one of the leaders of the Special Operations Executive (SOE), a covert intelligence agency formed by, and reporting to, Winston Churchill. She trained and recruited hundreds of agents, including dozens of women. Their job was to seamlessly penetrate deep behind the enemy lines.

As General Dwight D. Eisenhower said, the fantastic exploits and extraordinary courage of the SOE agents and the French Resistance fighters “shortened the war by many months.” They are celebrated, as they should be.

But Vera Atkins’s central role was hidden until after she died; author William Stevenson promised to wait and publish her story posthumously. Now, Vera Atkins can be celebrated and known for the hero she was: the woman whose beauty, intelligence, and unwavering dedication proved key in turning the tide of World War II.

“In the real world of spies, Vera Atkins was the boss.” —Ian Fleming

Praise for Spymistress

“Every bit as fascinating and shot through with ambiguity as a spy novel.” —Salon.com

“More intricate and exciting than the world of James Bond.” —Atlantic Monthly

Not for the casual reader. Learned a lot about ww2 history and how the British and Americans conducted themselves in the spy world.

Undaunted Courage and Unrecognized Valor

Indeed, giants did once walk the earth--and many of them wore dresses. This is a fascinating and awe-inspiring true account of women (and men) who volunteered to work behind enemy lines to defeat the Nazis. Yet their contributions and great sacrifice were never publically or often evenly privately proclaimed. In an era when the word hero is too often trivialized and people adulate celebrity and wealth; Spymistress introduces the reader to people of integrity, determined purpose, awe-inspiring courage, and value. It is a should read for all.

Fascinating but difficult

This book on Vera Atkins was very interesting but a difficult book to fully absorb. Parts seemed totally out of context and I tried to research using Google but after awhile realized I would never finish this book if I continued all the research. There were so, so many characters. She was a fascinating and very courageous woman. Parts I skimmed, highlighted a lot of names to go back when they resurfaced in later chapters. Another item this book addressed was the horrible circumstances the Jewish people and Polish people faced not only during the war but after, very enlightening but quite sad.
