Description

Virginia Hall left her Baltimore home in 1931 to go into the Foreign Service and went to work for the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) when Hitler used to be building toward the height of his power in Europe. She used to be assigned to France, where she helped the Resistance movement, escaped prisoners of war, and American Allied paratroopers. By 1942 she used to be thought to be so dangerous to the Gestapo that she needed to escape over the Pyrenees mountains―on an artificial leg, no less. When she were given to England, she used to be reassigned to France by the OSS, disguised as an old peasant woman. She helped capture 500 German soldiers and kill more than 150, at the same time as she sabotaged Nazi communications and transportation. Hitler’s forces were hot on her trail, on the other hand, and her daring intelligence activities and indomitable spirit defied the expectancies of even the Allies until the very end of the war.

Her story used to be ignored for more than fifty years, and this book now brings Virginia Hall’s story to patriots old and young.
