"Agent Zo" Book Launch
16.05.2024
We celebrated Clare Mulley’s book launch of “Agent Zo,” telling the extraordinary tale of Elżbieta Zawacka. The event was co-organised by the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in London and Ognisko Polskie.
This captivating story of the first and only Cichociemna also gives an insight into pivotal moments in Polish history, such as but not limited to the Warsaw Uprising. “Agent Zo: The Untold Story of Fearless WW2 Resistance Fighter Elzbieta Zawacka” chronicles her daring missions, struggles, and triumphs, painting a vivid picture of a woman who defied societal expectations and made a significant impact in a male-dominated field.
Clare Mulley is a historian and writer who focuses on women's experiences during the Second World War. She previously shed light on Krystyna Skarbek, another Polish woman who made a mark among special forces. Skarbek, aka Christine Granville, was Churchill’s favourite spy and Britain’s first—and longest-serving—female agent during WW2.
