SECRET AGENT, UNSUNG HERO | THE VALOUR OF BRUCE DOWDING
Young Australian teacher Bruce Dowding arrived in Paris in 1938, planning only to improve his
understanding of French language and culture. Secret Agent, Unsung Hero draws on decades of
research to reveal, for the first time, his coming of age as a leader in escape and evasion during World
War II. Dowding helped exfiltrate hundreds of Allied servicemen from occupied France and paid the
ultimate price. He was beheaded by the Nazis just after his 29th birthday in 1943.
To be officially launched by Janet Holmes à Court AC
