An action-packed graphic novel about agents who helped the Allies prepare for D-Day and push the Germans out of France during World War II.

In 1942, World War II was growing more and more intense. Germany and its allies had occupied a great deal of Europe--including part of France. With the enemy just a few miles from England, Prime Minister Winston Churchill was determined to help free France. To make his plan work, he needed people who could secretly help prepare the French for a big fight. He found 39 daring women who were up to the task--including Andrée Borrel and Lise de Baissac. These women would help support the French Resistance and sabotage German operations in preparation for the 1944 D-Day invasion. In this full-color graphic novel, discover more about these bold women who helped free France from German occupation during World War Il.
