During the critical summer months of 1943, Noor Inayat Khan was the only wireless operator transmitting secret messages from Nazi-occupied France to the Special Operations Executive in England. She was a most unlikely spy. As the daughter of an Indian mystic, raised in a household devoted to peaceful reflection on the outskirts of Paris, Khan did not seem destined for wartime heroism. Yet, faced with the evils of Nazism, she could not look away. She volunteered to help the British; was trained in espionage, sabotage, and reconnaissance; and returned to France under cover of night with a new identity and a code name: Madeleine. Khan transmitted countless details crucial to the Allies' success on D-Day, until she was captured and imprisoned by the Gestapo. She attempted two daring escapes before being sent to prison in Germany. Three months after the Allied invasion of France, she was executed at Dachau. Her last word was "liberté.""--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.54864 Khan Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54864 Khan Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54864 Khan Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54864 Khan Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList
