Damien Lewis's 10 years of research into Josephine Baker's world as an operative for the allies during WWII takes her story to new heights. Escaping from the legend of a scantily clad singer/dancer who entertained the world, wartime Agent Josephine shines as bright as a beacon, shimmering with defiance, fierce in loyalty to her adopted France, and fully engaged in the collection and passage of intelligence. The love story that serves as a backdrop to her exploits resonates profoundly." --Jonna Mendez, author of The Moscow Rules

"Lewis provides a rollicking, energetic commentary on Baker's adventures." --Booklist, *starred review*

Based on previously undisclosed letters and journals, Agent Josephine brings us the fullest telling yet of entertainer Josephine Baker's WWII heroism as a spy for France and the Allies.
