Rosie Raja: Churchill's Spy
She was the spy Churchill admired most-and the woman Hitler could never catch.
Born a Polish countess and forged by war, Christina Skarbek defied every rule of her time. With charm as her weapon and courage as her shield, she skied through Nazi lines, smuggled intelligence across borders, saved fellow agents from death, and slipped through Gestapo traps with a smile. Her code name was Christine Granville. Her story is one of beauty, betrayal, bravery-and a brutal end.
In Churchill's Favorite Spy: The Untold Story of Christina Skarbek, witness the thrilling life of the first female agent of Britain's Special Operations Executive (SOE). From her daring missions in occupied Poland to her high-stakes sabotage in France, from secret love affairs to double-crossed deals, this is a tale of grit and espionage like no other.
But in peacetime, the world forgot her. Until a knife in a London hotel hallway ensured she would never be forgotten again.
Gripping, tragic, and unforgettable-this is the true story of the spy who chose danger over silence, love over safety, and freedom over fear.
Perfect for readers of historical espionage, WWII biographies, and those who believe one life can change the course of history.
Discover the untold story of Churchill's most daring secret weapon: a woman with a noble past, a soldier's heart, and a spy's brilliance.
