The Improbable Heroine - Lela Karayanni and the British Secret Services in World War II Greece
This is the first biography in English of a World War II heroine of the Greek resistance, who joined the British secret intelligence services (SIS) shortly after the German occupation of Athens and was betrayed, arrested and executed one month before the Germans' departure. She was a prosperous housewife with seven children, who had no experience in politics or military affairs, and yet she managed to build a formidable escape, espionage and sabotage organization that interacted with the highest levels of SIS agents in Occupied Greece.
Stylianos Perrakis, Royal Bank of Canada Distinguished Professor of Financial Derivatives at Concordia University, Canada.
