The Mysterious Virginia Hall: World War II’s Most Dangerous Spy

This free-verse biography follows Virginia Hall from her athletic childhood in Maryland through her work in British and U.S. espionage during World War II. Hall dreamed of a foreign-service career, but an accident led to the loss of her leg. She remained determined to serve and, after the war began, was recruited by George Bellows of the British Special Operations Executive as one of its first women agents. The book includes archival photographs, source notes, and a bibliography, and recounts the distinguished service awards Hall later received.
