Virginia Hall was an extremely intriguing woman and her story deserves to be told. Unfortunately, I must agree with other 3-star reviewers as to the writing style of the author; she seems to be trying to hard to "spice it up," so to speak, but as a result I find myself reading war descriptions not unique and vibrant, but rather descriptions that are tedious and expected--the same stuff I've read dozens of other times in dozens of other books. What bothers me most, however, is the lack of sources.I thoroughly enjoyed reading this entertaining book however, as writer myself who focuses on WWII and must ensure complete historical accuracy in all my works, I had to read this book with the mindset that it is fiction rather than fact and cannot be used for research. By that statement, I don't mean to say that the book is false and inaccurate; I intend merely to state that I don't know one way or another if what the author says is true without digging into the topic and doing research on my own. The reason for this is because Pearson quotes people, news, etc., but never gives sources for her quotes. They're just dangling statements that are in no way backed up to verify their truth, as for example on page 30 (my thoughts in brackets):"...Paris newspapers had labeled the day 'Gray Friday,' as had other papers around the world. [Which Paris papers? Which papers around the world?] And they gave extensive accounts of French and British governmental missives insisting that Hitler 'withdraw entirely from Polish soil or consider himself at war with them.' " [Where does this quote come from, who said it?]This is one example, of which there are many, many more. I am simply unable to take the 'facts' of any book seriously if the author is not willing to back up her non-fiction work with footnotes or endnotes.In a nutshell, this is an entertaining, interesting book on a fabulous topic -- but definitely not a book anyone should quote, or that a scholar should read for research purposes. Read it for fun only.

I have read the book twice and listened to the audiobook once. This is an important perspective on the resistance against the Germans in France during WWII--as well as the role of a remarkable leader, fighter and radio operator. I wish there was more personal information on Virginia Hall, but that is what she would have wanted, anyway. She was modest and downplayed her role. My initial interest in her was her work as a clandestine radio operator using morse code--and that is my passion, working out of my backpack in the mountains of New Mexico or via set-up on my bicycle. I still meet veteran WWII radio operators on the air, chatting via morse--and I would love to have chatted with Virginia in her later years... Best 73, Virginia, de KD5RDD...

What a wonderful biography of someone so brave and so determined to 'walk the talk.' While America hem-hawed around trying to decide whether it was going to help our fellow allies in Europe, this woman decided to do something about it. Virginia Hall started out working for the US State Dept and went through all of the usual clerical things assigned to women because it was thought they weren't capable of doing anything else - hah! Virginia paid her dues and tried to progress up the ladder to become a foreign agent, but she could see after she lost her leg that there was nothing they would do to make that happen. Amazingly after she arrive in Europe, doing the 'usual', she volunteers to be an agent/spy for Britain's newly formed SOE. After her training, they sent her to Vichy and other parts of occupied France in 1941. She spent 15 months there helping to coordinate the activities of the French Resistance. The Germans nicknamed her the 'Limping Lady' and put her on their most wanted list.After escaping into Spain when the Germans swept up all of France, she made her way back to London and joined the US OSS and asked to return to France. She mapped drop zones for supplies and commandos from England, found safe houses for the British and Americans until after D-Day and the Allies freed France. Contrary to other reviewers, I found the one on one commentary more personal, as if Ms. Hall were telling me about her life. The author did a great job of weaving in WWII facts around Hitlers invasion and our own D-Day invasion. Many people (I for one) always kinda felt that since Paris was spared the major bombings that other cities suffered (i.e., London) that they people were not as bad off. Only the be informed of the horrible sufferings of hunger, torture and poverty Parisians were thrown into by the Nazis. Even French Jews were not spared the horrors that all of Europe were going through. Thank you Virginia Hall - good ol' American gumption at its best!!

This book is a fascinating account of the organized effort to undermine the occupiers of France during WW II. I learned much about Virginia Hall and the other members of the resistance, and I now have great admiration for them. I gave the book only four stars because it was promoted as a true story, yet there are no citations or other supporting evidence, and no one can know the level of detail that is presented. Rather than a true story, I consider this book as inspired by a true story, or based on one. Usually books of this nature have a lengthy list of footnotes that cite newspaper articles, personal diaries, conversations with individuals with first hand knowledge, etc. All Ms. Pearson offers is a bibliography, without a single specific citation. I have no doubt that the events described in the book actually happened - and while the detailed descriptions of conversations and personal thoughts are plausible, clearly they are fabrications. The book is a great read, but it's more of a novel based on actual historic events than a work of non-fiction.
