“An indelible portrait of extraordinary strength of character . . . [D’Albert-Lake] is somber, reflective, and attentive to every detail.”—The New Yorker

“A sharply etched and moving story of love, companionship, commitment, and sacrifice. . . . This beautifully edited diary and memoir throw an original light on the French Resistance.”—Robert Gildea, author of Marianne in Chains: In Search of the German Occupation, 1940-1945

“At once a stunning self-portrait and dramatic narrative of a valorous young American woman . . . an exciting and gripping story, one of the best of the many wartime tales.”—Walter Cronkite

“An enthralling tale which brims with brave airmen and plucky heroines.”
—David Kirby, St. Petersburg Times
