The Last Secret Agent

Join award-winning documentary producer, WWI and WWII specialist, and best-selling author Jude Dobson as she shares the incredible true story of Phyllis "Pippa" Latour, one of the few female undercover agents in WWII. Parachuted into Nazi-occupied France in 1944, Pippa risked her life daily, sending secret messages as part of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) Scientist circuit.

She kept her wartime bravery a secret for nearly 70 years - even from her family - before being honoured with France's highest military decoration. Don't miss this extraordinary tale of courage and secrecy.
