About the Book

During the critical summer months of 1943, Noor Inayat Khan was the only wireless operator transmitting secret messages from Nazi-occupied France to the Special Operations Executive in Britain. As the daughter of an Indian mystic, brought up in a household devoted to peaceful reflection on the outskirts of Paris, Khan did not seem destined for wartime heroism. Yet, faced with the evils of Nazism, she volunteered to help the British; was trained in espionage, sabotage and reconnaissance; and returned to France with a new identity. Khan transmitted details crucial to the Allies’ success on D-Day, until she was captured and imprisoned by the Gestapo. She attempted two escapes before being sent to Germany. Three months after the Allied invasion of France, she was executed at Dachau. Her last word was “liberté”.

Review :
What a story this is. Magida tells it very well.--Jon M. Sweeney "American Magazine" An absolutely gripping book. Noor Inayat Khan is brought alive in a way no one else has been able to do.--Lynne Olson, author of Madame Fourcade's Secret War An intimate and compelling portrait of the most extraordinary undercover agent of World War II. Noor Inayat Khan's story is one of courage, heroism, and tragedy: Magida's fascinating biography delves deep into the life of this devout Sufi woman whose moral imperative was to fight fascism at all costs--even if that meant putting herself in mortal danger.--Giles Milton, author of Soldier, Sailor, Frogman, Spy Noor Inayat Khan is a woman for our age: a true heroine who faced down evil when she saw it and sacrificed her life for the cause of freedom. Arthur Magida's biography is both a thrilling spy story and a moving portrait of her courage.--Amanda Foreman, author of A World on Fire Thanks to the dexterous work of Arthur Magida, Noor Inayat Khan finally takes her rightful place in world history. Free-spirited, glamorous, devout--embodying a life of mysticism and the arts--the only Indian woman spy fighting fascism in the golden age of Euro-American spying.--Ruby Lal, author of Empress: The Astonishing Reign of Nur Jahan Code Name Madeleine is one of the finest and most affecting true stories of espionage I have read--an engrossing tale of an amazing woman and her immense courage in the face of evil.--Alex Kershaw, author of Avenue of Spies A tightly plotted spy thriller with an irresistible and improbable heroine at its heart, Code Name Madeline is a missing chapter of the annals of World War II. It highlights the still underappreciated role women played in defeating Hitler. A rare and rich treat!--Kati Marton, author of True Believer
