Code Name Pauline (Women of Action) de Pearl Witherington Cornioley,Kathryn J. Atwood
Descripción - Críticas "Just as Ginger Rogers had to do what Fred Astaire did "but backwards and in high heels" so Pearl Witherington, Code Name Pauline, had to fight the secret war in a very male world, and she did it with remarkable courage. This honest and gripping memoir of the secret side of WWII behind enemy lines, elegantly edited by Kathryn Atwood, is a must-read for anyone fascinated not just by the underground war in France, but by anyone who admires bravery and ingenuity in the face of evil." --Brendan Foley, co-author "Under the Wire""Told in 'Pauline's' own no-nonsense words, this is an eye-opening look at what life was really like for a secret agent fighting in occupied France." --Steve Sheinkin, award-winning author of "Bomb: The Race to Build--and Steal--the World's Most Dangerous Weapon""Pearl's appealingly personal account is moving, thrilling and humbling all at once. . . . 'Never lose hope, never give in, ' is her fierce message to young readers. "Code Name Pauline "is both a shining tribute to the real and ordinary people whose relentless determination brought about an end to Nazi oppression in Europe, and an inspiration for future generations." --Elizabeth Wein, author of the award-winning "Code Name Verity"""Code Name Pauline" is the real deal--a treasure trove of primary source material." --Margi Preus, author of the Newbery Honor-winning "Heart of a Samurai "and "Shadow of the Mountain""Young adults "and "adults""will be fascinated to read this memoir detailing a piece of neglected World War II history." --Doreen Rappaport, author of the award-winning "Beyond Courage: The Untold Story of Jewish Resistance During the Holocaust""Pearl Witherington's fascinating memoir provides a concise yet illuminating account of some of SOE's audacious activities in occupied France during World War II. Ideal for younger readers, or those new to the subject." --Roger Moorhouse, author of "Berlin at War" and "Killing Hitler""A wonderfully vivid and engaging account. [I] loved it." --Alex Kershaw, author of "The Longest Winter""Code Name Pauline" is the real deal a treasure trove of primary source material. Margi Preus, author of the Newbery Honor winning "Heart of a Samurai "and "Shadow of the Mountain""A must-read, not only for anyone fascinated by the underground war in France, but also for anyone who admires bravery and ingenuity in the face of evil. Brendan Foley, coauthor of "Under the Wire""Young adults "and "adults" "will be fascinated to read this memoir detailing a piece of neglected World War II history. Doreen Rappaport, author of the award-winning "Beyond Courage: The Untold Story of Jewish Resistance During the Holocaust"" Winner of: 2014 Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People There was a full moon on the evening of September 22, 1943, when Pearl Witherington, age 29, parachuted into France to aid the French Resistance as a special agent for the British Special Operations Executive (SOE). Out of the 400 agents sent to France during the German occupation, 39 were women. Pearl, whom the SOE called “cool and resourceful and extremely determined” and “the best shot, male or female, we have yet had,” became one of the most celebrated female World War II resistance fighters.In Code Name Pauline Pearl describes in a series of plainspoken reminiscences her difficult childhood and harrowing escape from France in 1940; her recruitment and training as a special agent; the logistics and dangers of posing as a cosmetics saleswoman to make her way around the country as an undercover courier; and both failed and successful attempts at sabotaging the Nazis. She tells how, when the leader of her network was caught by the Gestapo, she became “Pauline” and rose to command a 3,500-strong band of French Resistance fighters. With an annotated list of key figures, an appendix of original unedited interview extracts—including Pearl’s husband Henri’s story—and never-before-published photographs from Pearl’s personal collection, Code Name Pauline will captivate World War II buffs of any age and, just as Pearl wished, inspire young people. Biografía del autor Pearl Witherington Cornioley joined the Special Operations Executive in 1943 and worked with the French Resistance as an undercover courier and later, under the code name “Pauline,” as a network leader of 3,500 men. She was instrumental in the carrying out of numerous acts of sabotage during World War II. Kathryn J. Atwood is the author of Women Heroes of World War II. She has contributed to Midwest Book Review; BookPleasures.com; PopMatters.com; and War, Literature, and the Arts.
