General #ElżbietaZawacka, aka ‘#Zo’, died #otd 2009.
She was the only woman in the Polish special force #paramilitary, the #cichociemni or #silentunseen, to be parachuted into occupied #Poland in the #secondworldwar. By then she had already played a crucial role in the underground resistance.
I am writing her remarkable story now, working title #AgentZo #WomanOnAMission, to be published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson in 2024…
