I Heard My Country Calling: Elaine Madden, the Unsung Heroine of SOE

Sue Elliott
4.9/5 (27447 ratings)
Description:The remarkable true story of SOE heroine Elaine Madden, told for the first time After a tragic childhood among the Great War cemeteries of Flanders fields, a troubled young woman searches for love and meaning in war-ravaged Europe. Elaine Madden’s quest takes her from occupied Belgium through the chaos of Dunkirk, where she flees disguised as a British soldier, into the London Blitz, where she finally begins to discover herself. Recruited to T Section of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) as a "fast courier," she is parachuted back to the country of her birth to undertake a top secret political mission and help speed its liberation from Nazi oppression. Elaine Madden never claimed to be a heroine, but her story proves otherwise. Its centerpiece—war service as one of only two women SOE agents parachuted into enemy-occupied Belgium—is just one episode in an extraordinary real-life drama of highs and lows, love, loss, and betrayal. Relayed to the author in the final years of her life, Elaine’s true story of courage and humor in testing times is more intriguing, more compelling than fiction.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
