Join us for an evening with Helen Fry who will be discussing her new book focused on a major new history of the two most important British secret service networks in the First and Second World Wars
Intelligence gathering was essential to both sides in the First and Second World Wars. At the heart of MI6’s efforts were two key networks in Belgium. Agents in The White Lady acted as couriers, radio operators and spies to facilitate the end of German control. And, when war broke out again two decades later, the leaders of the network regrouped and established a successor: The Clarence Service.
This is a compelling account of the agents who risked their lives and found ingenious ways to smuggle intelligence out of occupied Belgium.
Dr. Helen Fry is an esteemed author and historian renowned for her focus on the 10,000 German and Austrian Jewish refugees who served with British forces during World War II. She is an authority on the 'Secret Listeners' and possesses deep knowledge of 20th-century espionage.
