AAasAA"e;The Greatest War Story of All AAasAaaoe Takes rank with All Quiet on the Western Front. She fulfilled in every respect the conditions which made the terrible profession of a spy dignified and honourable. Dwelling behind the German line within sound of cannon, she continually obtained and sent information of the highest importance to the British Intelligence Authorities. Her tale is a thrilling one AAasAAA the main description of her life and intrigues and adventures is undoubtedly authentic. I was unable to stop reading it until 4 a.m.AAasAAAWinston Churchill 1932With her medical studies cut short by the 1914 German invasion, her house burned down and her father arrested for suspected AAasAAoesharpshootingAAasAazA, it was perhaps unsurprising that the multi-lingual Marthe Mckenna (nAAA(c)e Cnockaert, codename AAasAAoeLauraAAasAazA) was recruited by British Intelligence. At the time she worked as a nurse tending the wounds of occupying soldiers, and as a waitress in her parentsAAasAazA cafAAA(c) in the Belgian border town of Roulers. I Was a Spy! is McKennaAAasAazAs vivid narrative of these breathtaking adventures as she, aided by a gallant band of loyal locals, goes undercover to sabotage enemy phone lines, report suspicious activity or train movements, and even instigate an aerial attack on a planned visit by the Kaiser.This thrilling account goes on to explain how, in 1916, the young nurse was caught by the Germans placing dynamite in a disused sewer tunnel underneath an ammunition dump. She was sentenced to the firing squad and only survived due to the Iron Cross honor received as a result of her earlier medical service . Mckenna was later mentioned by Douglas Haig in British Despatches and was awarded the French and Belgian Orders of the Legion of Honour for her espionage work.
