Author Damien Lewis tells the story of Josephine Baker, the dancer from St. Louis who became Paris’s greatest vedette, and who risked everything for her adopted country.

They called her “The Jazz Cleopatra.” Being an international celebrity might seem a serious impediment to success as a spy, but Josephine Baker knew how to hide in plain sight, making herself the center of attention while concealing what really mattered; she’d probably been doing it her whole life.

Find Agent Josephine: American Beauty, French Hero, British Spy in the library catalog.
