AGENT JOSEPHINE: AMERICAN BEAUTY, FRENCH HERO, BRITISH SPY

"Damien Lewis's 10 years of research into Josephine Baker's world as an operative for the allies during WWII takes her story to new heights. Escaping from the legend of a scantily clad singer/dancer who entertained the world, wartime Agent Josephine shines as bright as a beacon, shimmering with defiance, fierce in loyalty to her adopted France, and fully engaged in the collection and passage of intelligence. The love story that serves as a backdrop to her exploits resonates profoundly." --Jonna Mendez, author of The Moscow Rules "Lewis provides a rollicking, energetic commentary on Baker's adventures." --Booklist, *starred review* Based on previously undisclosed letters and journals, Agent Josephine brings us the fullest telling yet of entertainer Josephine Baker's WWII heroism as a spy for France and the Allies.
