  • About the Original Book:

    This is the story of Marie-Madeleine, a leader in this time of war whose vital contributions claimed victory for the Allies. Amid the complicated struggle of world superpowers during World War II lay the political mess of occupied France. Infighting between factions, countless resistance movements, and relentless German oppression drenched the French in betrayal and subversion. The well-known penchant for revolution returns in the courageous actions of the men and women who joined Fourcade's Alliance network. Kindred spirits fought for freedom the only way they knew how—by helping the enemy of their enemy. It is an inspiring telling of a different time.
