Five Minutes For France by Bronwyn Wilson Pdf

"Five Minutes for France is a story of childhood beginnings in Southern California and resurfacing forty years later in the Mediterranean. My wife, author Bronwyn Wilson, spent much of her lifetime worrying about things that would never happen. When her world began to shrink smaller and smaller as physical ailments grew larger and larger, she began asking questions. How has this happened? What is anxiety? Where does it come from? Where does it lead? This memoir answers those questions as Bronwyn travels through her fears and her struggles with knowledge, insight, and a keen understanding of her inner challenges. How does she handle dangling in a gondola high above the town of Funchal, Portugal; sliding down a mile-long road in a wicker basket; or finding herself in Barcelona without underwear? Looking back on her life, Bronwyn saw a pattern in the way she had lived her life for many years. Rather than making room for the joy in her present circumstances, she focused on potential dangers and how to avoid them, allowing her anxiety to become debilitating over time. Bronwyn's story offers a message of hope and humor for those suffering from anxiety or for those who know someone living with it or for those simply wanting a good read." Jerry Wilson

D-Day Girls by Sarah Rose Pdf

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The dramatic, untold history of the heroic women recruited by Britain’s elite spy agency to help pave the way for Allied victory in World War II “Gripping. Spies, romance, Gestapo thugs, blown-up trains, courage, and treachery (lots of treachery)—and all of it true.”—Erik Larson, author of The Devil in the White City and Dead Wake In 1942, the Allies were losing, Germany seemed unstoppable, and every able man in England was on the front lines. To “set Europe ablaze,” in the words of Winston Churchill, the Special Operations Executive (SOE), whose spies were trained in everything from demolition to sharpshooting, was forced to do something unprecedented: recruit women. Thirty-nine answered the call, leaving their lives and families to become saboteurs in France. In D-Day Girls, Sarah Rose draws on recently de­classified files, diaries, and oral histories to tell the thrilling story of three of these remarkable women. There’s Andrée Borrel, a scrappy and streetwise Parisian who blew up power lines with the Gestapo hot on her heels; Odette Sansom, an unhappily married suburban mother who saw the SOE as her ticket out of domestic life and into a meaningful adventure; and Lise de Baissac, a fiercely independent member of French colonial high society and the SOE’s unflap­pable “queen.” Together, they destroyed train lines, ambushed Nazis, plotted prison breaks, and gathered crucial intelligence—laying the groundwork for the D-Day invasion that proved to be the turning point in the war. Rigorously researched and written with razor-sharp wit, D-Day Girls is an inspiring story for our own moment of resistance: a reminder of what courage—and the energy of politically animated women—can accomplish when the stakes seem incalculably high. Praise for D-Day Girls “Rigorously researched . . . [a] thriller in the form of a non-fiction book.”—Refinery29 “Equal parts espionage-romance thriller and historical narrative, D-Day Girls traces the lives and secret activities of the 39 women who answered the call to infiltrate France. . . . While chronicling the James Bond-worthy missions and love affairs of these women, Rose vividly captures the broken landscape of war.”—The Washington Post “Gripping history . . . thoroughly researched and written as smoothly as a good thriller, this is a mesmerizing story of creativity, perseverance, and astonishing heroism.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
