Victoire: A Wartime Story of Resistance, Collaboration and Betrayal
Roland Philipps
Victoire is about Mathilde Carré - codenamed ‘La Chatte’, the cat, then known as Agent Victoire - who was the exceptionally charismatic and daring founder of the ‘Big Network’. This was the first Allied intelligence network in Occupied France, which soon grew central to Resistance efforts and to be a lifeline of crucial information to an isolated Britain. But her allegiances become more complex when the network is rolled up by the Germans and she makes a fateful compromise. She first becomes a double agent before later trying to persuade the British to back her as a triple agent.
