The Flame Of
Resistance - British
History
Book (Paperback)
£4.00 GBP
Books British History Books During WW2, Josephine Baker, the world's richest & most glamorous entertainer, was an Allied spy in Occupied France. This is the story of her heroic personal resistance to Nazi Germany. Prior to World War II, Josephine Baker was a music hall diva renowned for her singing & exotic dancing, her beauty & sexuality; she was the most highly-paid female performer in Europe. When the Nazis seized her adopted city, Paris, she was banned from the stage, along with all 'negroes & Jews'. Yet, instead of returning to America, she vowed to stay & to fight the Nazi evil. Overnight she went from performer to Resistance spy. Damien Lewis uncovers this little-known history of the famous singer's life. During the years of the war, as a member of the French Nurse paratroopers
- a cover for her spying work-- she participated in numerous clandestine activities & emerged as formidable spy. In turn, she was a hero of the three countries in whose name she served: the US, the nation of her birth; France, the land that embraced her during her adult career; & Britain, the country from which she took her orders, as one of London's most closely-guarded special agents. Baker's secret war embodies a tale of unbounded courage, passion, devotion & sacrifice, & of deep & bitter tragedy, fueled by her own desire to combat the rise of Nazism, & to fight for all that is good & right in the world. Drawing on a plethora of new historical material & rigorous research, including previously undisclosed letters & journals, Lewis upends the conventional story of Josephine Baker, revealing that her mark on history went far beyond the confines of the stage.   Product Information:  •†ISBN:† 9781529416763 •†Author: Damien Lewis  •†Publisher:†  Quercus •†Format:†  Paperback •†Pages:† 496 •†Dimensions:† 12.8 x 3.6 x 19.6 cm
