Summary:
A world-famous entertainer. A professional safecracker. A major league baseball player. These are but a few of the daring covers Allied spies used while they hid Resistance members, parachuted into enemy territory, and so much more. For reasons that were personal, patriotic, and principled, the eight individuals profiled in this book risked their lives time and again for the Allied cause. Through a riveting, highly informative, and heartfelt narrative, author Karen Gray Ruelle invites readers to explore their histories, celebrate their ingenuity, marvel at their courage, honor their sacrifice, and share their hopes for a free and better world.
