Code Name Madeleine - Arthur J. Magida
She read
Publication Date: June 9, 2020
Although I thought the writing got bogged down at times with names and details (it was well researched), this is a fascinating story about someone whom I had never heard about. Although her story has been told in other books and on film, it bears retelling.
I did find frustrating that despite her intent and bravery Noor was careless in so many facets of her operations. Perhaps that was just indicative of wartime operations; her handlers also seemed careless at times, especially when there were indications that her radio had been captured, yet they continued believing it was her transmitting, sending many other operators into traps set up by the enemies.
I am not a big fan of nonfiction, but am glad I read this and encourage others to do so as well. I learned a lot about the SEO and its wartime activities and met an incredible woman.
