    Very sorry to learn of the death of Polish hero #ZbigniewMieczkowski.
    A war hero himself, Zbigniew was also among the last to see #KrystynaSksrbek aka #ChristineGranville, alive. ‘She had strong emotions’, he told me over dinner. ‘In love, and war.’ Then he kissed my hand, clicked his heels, and insisted on paying for our meal.
    This Telegraph obit is good, but for those who would like to know more, please look for Zbigniew’s wonderful memoir, #Horizons, and my biography of Krystyna, #TheSpyWhoLoved.

    This woman loved danger & adrenalin. She loved men. But most of all she loved freedom. She was Britain's first female #SpecialAgent of the #SecondWorldWar & her name was #KrystynaSkarbek aka #ChristineGranville #TheSpyWhoLoved.
    Happy Valentines Day everyone!

    The wonderful #WW2 veteran, Maj. Zbigniew Mieczykowski has died. One of the last people to see #KrystynaSkarbek (#ChristineGranville) alive, he shared his stories for my bk, #TheSpyWhoLoved. His own memoir, #Horizons, is hugely evocative of time & place, & of his own character. He will be missed.
