A Woman of No Importance: The Untold Story of Virginia Hall, WWII's Most Dangerous Spy
This is the riveting story of a heroine of the second World War and a truly remarkable woman. Crippled in an accident and left with one usable leg this American lady risked her life spying for the allies in the war with her deeds of derring-do behind enemy lines. After her return to America and marriage she continued serving her country in the service of the CIA. As a story of valour this requires some beating. I salute her.
(David Graham - bwl 100 Spring 2021)
