About the Book

The Nazis called her "the most dangerous of all Allied spies." To the Gestapo, she was a ghost - always one step ahead, always vanishing when they closed in. To the French Resistance, she was a savior. To history, she is one of the most extraordinary women of World War II. Virginia Hall began life in Baltimore with dreams of diplomacy, but an accident that cost her a leg nearly ended her ambitions. Instead, it forged an iron will that would carry her into the heart of Europe's deadliest shadows. Armed with nothing but false papers, hidden radios, and her wooden prosthetic leg she called Cuthbert, Hall built vast networks of spies and resistance fighters under the nose of the Gestapo. From safe houses to sabotage missions, from coded signals to perilous escapes, her life became a high-stakes game against Hitler's ruthless secret police. Each day could have been her last - and yet she never faltered. While entire divisions of men crumbled, this one woman inspired armies of ordinary citizens to resist tyranny. This book reveals: How Hall evaded capture while the Gestapo plastered her face across wanted posters. The daring escape over the Pyrenees she made on her wooden leg to avoid execution. Her return to France with the OSS, where she orchestrated sabotage, guerrilla warfare, and intelligence that paved the way for D-Day. The legacy of courage she left behind - as the first female spy to receive the Distinguished Service Cross. If you're fascinated by true spy thrillers, fearless women of history, and the untold stories of World War II, this book will keep you turning the pages late into the night. Step into the shadows of occupied France. Follow the trail of the spy the Nazis feared most. Discover the incredible life of Virginia Hall - the Limping Lady who defied Hitler.
