Every purchase helps someone affected by leprosy
In June 1940, a covert new force - the Special Operations Executive (SOE) - was set up to wage a secret war of sabotage and subversion behind enemy lines. Of the 470 agents sent to France only 26 female agents returned and none have ever told their story before.
Phyllis "Pippa" Latour was parachuted into France aged 23; she bravely travelled around the rural French countryside, concealing her codes in a hair tie and her Morse key underneath her bicycle seat, and sending crucial information back to Britain in the lead-up to D-Day.
'A fresh and gripping autobiography... reads like a spy thriller novel - testament to both Latour's writing and incredible time undercover in France.' The Independent

Your purchase can help to end leprosy. Shopping with us will help fund leprosy research which is vital to ending leprosy transmission by 2035. Recent developments in genotyping strains of leprosy have improved accuracy of finding the source of transmission, meaning tracking and tracing of cases can be much more effective. There is also a PCR test for leprosy being developed which would be a game changer in faster and more accurate diagnosis of leprosy.
