Bravery and Betrayal: Uncovering Elżbieta Zawacka’s Hidden Story
Her story was deliberately hidden by the Soviet-backed communist regime imposed on postwar Poland… it was a real privilege, as well as a real adventure, to bring that back to our knowledge.
Today, my guest is writer and historian Clare Mulley. Clare is an award-winning author known for her compelling biographies of remarkable women whose stories have often been overlooked by history.
I was eager to welcome Clare back to The Comfortable Spot to discuss her latest book, Agent Zo: The Untold Story of Elżbieta Zawacka, the Woman Who Fought the Nazis. With her deep expertise in World War II history and a passion for uncovering hidden heroes, Clare brings to life the extraordinary journey of Zawacka — a member of the Polish resistance and the only woman to parachute back into occupied Poland as part of the silent unseen so I hope you’re sitting comfortably and happy to stay with us.
