The Limping Lady

In 1942, France was flooded with posters featuring a young woman and the caption: The most dangerous enemy spy. We must find and destroy her! The woman on the poster was Virginia Hall - the first spy of the Allied States working behind enemy lines. Despite her disability and the constant threat to her life, Virginia continued to carry out the most challenging missions to save thousands of people and for peace in Europe. The latest research by Sonia Purnell, a recognized journalist and biographer, reveals the secrets of Virginia Hall's life, full of heroism and selfless resistance against the Nazis. A stunning biography, more like a spy thriller - a gripping, poignant story of courage and self-sacrifice.
