Yvette of the S.O.E: (Winston Churchill's 'Special Operations Executive') - A WW2 story of survival against all odds.

by Kevin Paul Woodrow

Overview

This is a WW2 story of great courage and survival against almost impossible odds.

During the year of 1942, Yvette Jackson, a young fun loving and very beautiful twenty year old girl was enjoying her second year as a medical student training to be a doctor. However, her world turned upside down when requested to attend the office of her professor, who informed her that she had an unknown visitor waiting for her.

She'd received a visit from the mysterious caller, who simply called himself, Mr. Black. She discovered this man worked at the offices of "The Department of Fish & Fisheries" situated at 5A Great Portland Street, London, and he informed her that he wished to enlist her services.

Within a couple of months, after signing 'The Official Secrets Act,' Yvette would be parachuting out of a plane, be interrogated by the 'Gestapo,' and would be living and working in Paris surrounded by Nazis, having been recruited as a member of the French Resistance for the duration of the WW2 occupation of France.

This is the third book in the "2nd World War Fiction by Kevin Paul Woodrow" series, and is the follow up to "Return to Auschwitz" and "The Secret Jew of Munich."

About the Author

I was born in the beautiful Somerset City of Bath, England, and worked for "South West Gas" from the 18th of September 1972 until the Christmas Eve of 1977, before landing a job as a professional Disc-Jockey and working for the "American Forces Network" in Germany.

Here I worked with such groups as "The Supremes," "Rose Royce," "The Chi-lites," "The Impressions" and a very young band named "The Commodores," before they became famous. I also worked with fellow American radio DJ's - Casey Cason, Dan Maroso and Benny Brown.

Because of my stint working in Germany I caught the travelling bug, and during November 1992 I moved to the crazy resort of Magalluf, on the Sunshine Island of Mallorca, Spain, where I spent the next sixteen wonderful years before returning to the UK in the October of 2008.

My life changed when I visited the notorious Death Camp of Auschwitz on March 18th 2014 during a trip to Krakow, Poland. Whilst there, I met a fascinating elderly lady who told me a story about her aunty and her harrowing life in the camp between the years 1943 and 1945. This was a beautiful love story.

I thought about her aunty's life for a couple of years and eventually decided to write a story based on it, beginning the process in 2019. The book was finished and ready for publication one year later, in August 2020. The title of the book was “Return to Auschwitz,” and this became my first World War Two inspired “Romantic Love Story.”

One year later, my second book in the war inspired series was released, with “The Secret Jew of Munich” being born and published in September 2021, followed by the third book in the series, "Yvette of the S.O.E" being published on the 8th of March 2023.

Since then, all three books have become very good sellers, for which, I say “Thank you.”
