In 1942, France was flooded with posters featuring a young woman with the caption: “The most dangerous enemy spy. We must find and destroy her! " The woman on the poster was Virginia Hall, the first Allied spy to work behind enemy lines. Despite her disability and constant threat to her life, Virginia continued to carry out the most difficult missions to save thousands of people and for the sake of peace in Europe. The latest research by Sonia Purnell, an acclaimed journalist and biographer, allows us to lift the veil of secrecy over the life of Virginia Hall, full of heroism and selfless opposition to the Nazis. A stunning biography, more like a spy thriller, is an action-packed, piercing story of courage and self-sacrifice.
