Cold War Conversations 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.
