Brady has explored little-known aspects of World War II, from the life of Ted Roosevelt Jr. (His Father's Son, 2017) to the story of a civilian freighter that aided in a critical Moroccan invasion (Twelve Desperate Miles, 2012). Now he turns his attention to the Netherlands, highlighting three young women who worked for the Dutch resistance. While Anne Frank hid nearby, teenage sisters Truus and Freddie Overgesteen joined the fight after being raised in a leftist home. Johanna Schaft, known as Hannie, came to the group after being forced out of college by Nazi regulations. The women trained as fighters, learning hand-to-hand combat and practicing their shooting. Their missions were often based on their ability to infiltrate male spaces by taking advantage of soldiers' assumptions about femininity: that the girls were naive, stupid, and innocent when they were anything but. Relying heavily on Truus' own observations, as well as previous works about Hannie's life, this book will please Brady's fans as well as those who are interested in new and different stories of WWII.
