A really enjoyable read!By Lilith RoswynGreat story about a courageous; resourceful; determined woman who didn't let a disability; the fact that she was a woman in the 1930's and 40's; or the Nazis stop her from serving the Allies' cause. She earned the respect and gratitude of three nations and deserved every medal she got! The book was very thoroughly researched and well-written and goes into peripheral explanations when necessary without overwhelming the central story. A really enjoyable read!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. An indomitable patriot!By Debra S.An excellent page-turner of a book! 'Reads more a spy novel instead of a biography. It's a fascinating; true account of a remarkable young American woman working in the clandestine service in occupied France during WWII. Nothing deters Virginia Hall in her fight against the Nazi invasion of Europe; not sexual prejudice; her physical handicap or even the Gestopo. It was interesting to read about the French Resistance and the tactics used by civilians behind the scenes that collaborated in the liberating of France. Ms. Hall is a humble patriot that all of us can admire.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A great story about a courageous woman.By ArtGrandTourThis is an exciting read about a brave woman who spied for years for the French during WWII. Despite being an amputee; she managed to evade enemy capture all the while making mischief for them. She helped the Allies win the war!I've read that a movie about her is in the works. Read this exciting book now and you'll enjoy the movie when it does release.
