WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE (PB)

In September 1941, a young American woman strides up the steps of a hotel in Lyon, Vichy France. Her papers say she is a journalist. By 1942 Virginia Hall was the Gestapo's most urgent target, having infiltrated Vichy command, trained civilians in guerrilla warfare and sprung soldiers from Nazi prison camps. Her intelligence changed the course of the war. This is a history like no other, telling the story of the accident that disabled her, the discrimination she fought and the secret life that helped her triumph over all.
