2013 The Secret Ministry Of Ag. & Fish - Noreen Riols (MacMillan) Hardback good jacket second edition. Wartime and spying.
A fascinating first-hand account of Britain’s secret war. In The Secret Ministry of Ag. & Fish, Noreen Riols reveals the extraordinary story behind the innocent cover name she gave her family while working for Churchill’s highly secretive Special Operations Executive (SOE). Recruited because of her fluent French, Riols helped train agents destined for occupied France, sharing remarkable stories of courage, deception, resistance and sacrifice. Written with warmth, humour and honesty, this memoir combines personal recollections with the wider history of the men and women who risked everything behind enemy lines. An absorbing read for anyone interested in wartime espionage, military history, or the untold stories of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events.
