What a remarkable career she had, and such varied involvements and experiences.
She was educated at a wonderful European school, giving her a good grounding in languages and music.
She joined the RAF. She was the youngest and most junior on the advanced intelligence course.
After doing excellent intelligence work in Europe, she received shameful treatment by ASIO when she first shifted to Australia.

The book had a truthful feel about it. A most interesting read, a little tedious in parts as she wanted to name all the bad eggs.
