in an accident that required her left leg to be amputated. Despite
this setback, Hall was eager to do something to help the Allies
win World War II. She made her way to Vichy, France where she
helped coordinate underground resistance movements, sabotaging the
Nazis at every turn. Her covert operations, including capturing
500 Germans, greatly contributed to the Allies' eventual win.

of America's greatest female spy. Thoroughly researched and full
of rarely seen photographs from Virginia Hall's family, this
is an extraordinary, in-depth look at a true hero.
