Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

British secret service officer Katharine Gun's only crime was telling the truth, but she paid a steep price when she exposed a U.S.-U.K. spy operation to secure UN authorization for the Iraq invasion. Thoroughly researched and engagingly written, this book tells the story of the young woman Sean Penn describes as "a hero of the human spirit."

About the Author

Mitchell raised six children while taking care of her husband who had very early Alzheimer's.
