Madame Fourcade's Secret War: The Daring Young Woman Who Led France's Largest Spy Network Against Hitler by Lynne Olson

This is such a fascinating story and I really loved the way it's told. It reads like a spy story, with plenty of suspense, intrigue, and people who die along the way. If you liked Code Name Verity, I highly recommend this as it deals with so many of the real parts of that book. From the moon squadron to wireless operators on the move to female spies and capture by the Gestapo, it was fascinating to read a true history and compare it to that fictional story. I listened to the audio, and I'd like to look at the physical book to see if there are photos or maps as well.
