Book Overview

The thrilling account of how Josephine Baker, the world's richest and most glamorous entertainer, became an Allied spy in Occupied France

"Four hundred pages of bravery and heroism that read like a spy novel you can't put down." --Vanity Fair

A Vanity Fair and The New Yorker Best Book of the Year

In Agent Josephine, bestselling author Damien Lewis uncovers the extraordinary story of Josephine Baker's transformation from Paris performer to dauntless spy. Throughout World War II, using her stardom as a cloak for her secret work, Baker undertook daring clandestine missions to fight the Nazis, stamping an indelible mark on history.

Drawing on a plethora of new material and rigorous research, including previously undisclosed letters and journals, Lewis upends the conventional story of the renowned performer, revealing why she fully deserves her unique place in the French Panthéon.
