Description
The Gestapo is urgently chasing the person they have declared to be the "most dangerous spy" working for the Allies. But she keeps evading them ... This the never-before-told story of Virginia Hall, an American spy who changed the course of World War II. Born into a wealthy family in Baltimore, Maryland, from an early age Virginia knew she would never take the path that was expected of her. Instead, relying mostly on her wits and instincts, she would become the first Allied woman secret agent deployed behind enemy lines in France. And she did so despite having a prosthetic leg, which almost no one knew about. Virginia devoted herself to aiding the French Resistance during World War II, and she revolutionized what it meant to be a spy
