In 1942, France was flooded with posters depicting a young woman and the inscription: 'The most dangerous enemy spy. We must find and destroy her!"The woman on the poster was Virginia Hall, the first spy of the Allied states who worked behind enemy lines. Despite her disability and constant threat to her life, Virginia continued to carry out the most difficult missions for the sake of saving thousands of people and for the sake of peace in Europe.The latest research by Sonia Pernell, a recognized journalist and biographer, allows us to lift the veil of secrecy over the life of Virginia Hall, full of heroism and selfless resistance to the Nazis.An amazing biography, more like a spy thriller, is an action-packed, poignant story about courage and self-sacrifice.
