The Secret War of Helene de Champlain

"[This book] tells the true story of a beautiful and passionate seventeen-year-old French girl who, in the winter of 1940, forsook the security of home and joined the French Resistance and later the American OSS (forerunner of the CIA), as spy and saboteur, preferring to risk death with a sten-gun in her hand than suffer the presence of the Nazi conquerers." -From dustjacket.
