As a woman and amputee, American Virginia Hall was not expected to succeed at espionage during WW2. Yet operating under 20 different code names, with an artificial leg, she gathered intelligence, rescued fellow agents, eluded double-crossing informants, and helped organized the French resistance. While the U.S. failed to end WW2 sooner or admit those fleeing Nazi persecution, history shows some courageous Americans spoke out and saved lives. Read about a German Jewish family who tries to escape to the U.S. in the novel One Person’s Loss. Learn more about the book in NOVELS.
