At the beginning of World War Two, Winston Churchill created the Special Operations Executive (SOE) to fight an 'unorthodox war.' This secret agency trained spies, radio operators, and resistance fighters to serve behind enemy lines. The historical fiction novel, An Unorthodox War, weaves together a gripping tale based on real people who served in the SOE and the real events they engaged in.
Honora Ellery-Smythe, Elly to her friends, is a typical WWII British woman who finds herself windowed. Determined to make her husband's death in North Africa meaningful, Elly enlists in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force and trains as a radiotelegrapher. During her service, she is recruited by the SOE and sent to France to work with resistance fighters. An Unorthodox War follows Elly as she learns her new trade as a spy and tries to survive the dangers, betrayals, and brutality that were part of World War II reality.
