The Autobiography of the Woman the Gestapo Called the White Mouse is Nancy Wake’s own account of her wartime exploits as one of the Allies’ most decorated secret agents. This 1985 hardcover edition preserves her pulse-quickening memories of leading Resistance fighters through occupied France, a story that still tops lists of must-read WWII biographies and true stories.
The 206-page narrative reads like a thriller yet remains rooted in historical fact, making it a gripping gift for both young adults and adults curious about military history or inspirational women. Collectors prize the vintage volume for its evocative dust jacket, here present and protected by a tight, unmarked binding.
Condition notes: light scuffing to the jacket, occasional page-edge foxing, otherwise clean and smoke-free. No inscriptions, no dog-ears—just a sturdy copy ready for the shelf or the reading chair.
