Bag om I Was A Spy!

I Was A Spy! is a memoir written by Marthe McKenna, a Belgian nurse who worked as a spy for the British during World War I. The book chronicles her experiences as a nurse in German-occupied Belgium, her recruitment by British intelligence, and her subsequent work as a spy. McKenna's work involved gathering intelligence on German troop movements and relaying this information to British agents.

The book provides a unique perspective on the war, as McKenna was able to move freely between the German and Allied lines due to her status as a nurse. The memoir is a gripping account of courage and resourcefulness in the face of danger, and offers a fascinating insight into the world of espionage during World War I.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
