Agent Zo - From War Hero to Enemy: When Cold War Poland Turned on Its Own (395)

In a world where history often overlooks the contributions of women, ​the story of ​Agent ​Zo stands out as a beacon of bravery and resilience. ​I spoke with ​Claire ​Mulley about her book ​Agent ​Zo: the ​Untold ​Story of a fearless ​World ​War ​II ​resistance fighter. ​ From the first day of the war to the ​German surrender, ​Zo organised efforts to resist the ​Nazi invasion of ​Poland, ​displaying extraordinary courage and leadership. ​However, ​the aftermath of the war brought new challenges. ​ Despite her heroic actions, ​Zo and many others faced persecution from the new communist authorities of ​Poland.
