Non-fiction 5/5

The true biography of Virginia Hall, an American spy in Vichy France during World War II—who only had one leg. The circuits this woman set up under the noses of the Milice (French police), Nazis, and collaborators were phenomenal, as were her exploits such as breaking a dozen spies from a French prison or escaping The Butcher of Lyon, Klaus Barbie, by climbing a snow-covered pass through the Pyrenees. A fascinating read about a fascinating life.
