A woman who in later life was electedto the European Parliament. And who, upon her death in 1989 at the age of seventy-nine, becamethe first woman to be granted a funeral at Les Invalides, the complex in central Paris whereNapoleon Bonaparte and other French military heroes are buried.Â Olson posits a few possiblereasons for Fourcadeâ€s relegation to the footnotes of history. The inescapable one, though,circles back to where we began: her gender.â€•â€”The Washington Post â€œLynne Olson is agifted author and her books about the Allies in World War II are carefully researched andcompulsively readable. . . . Thankfully, a new generation of writers is expanding our knowledge ofindividuals whose roles in World War II deserve more attention.â€•â€”The Christian ScienceMonitorâ€œInÂ Madame Fourcadeâ€s Secret War, Lynne Olson tells one of the great stories ofthe French Resistance, a story of one womanâ€s courage amid great danger, a story ofheroism, defiance, and, ultimately, victory.â€•â€”Alan Furst, author ofÂ A Hero of Franceâ€œLynne Olson has added yet another brilliant chapter to her vital historical project: documentingthe extraordinary efforts of individuals, such as spymaster Marie-Madeleine Fourcade, who helpedliberate twentieth-century Europe from Nazi occupation. Much like Madame Fourcade herself,Olson goes to great lengths to unearth truth and preserve dignity for those who lived and diedduring Hitlerâ€s reign of terrorâ€”and for that, both the author and her daring subject deservehigh praise.â€•â€”Former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albrightâ€œThe organizationalgenius of Fourcade shines through tales of her cat-and-mouse game with the Gestapo, includingmultiple daring escapes from Nazi captivity. As well researched and engrossing as her previousbooks, showcasing her adroit ability to weave personal narratives, political intrigue, and wartimedevelopments to tell a riveting story, Olson's latest is highly recommended to readers interested inWorld War II, the history of espionage, women's history, and European history.â€•â€”LibraryJournal (starred review)â€œA brilliant, cinematic biography of resistance leader Marie-Madeleine Fourcade . . . Olsonâ€s weaving of Fourcadeâ€s diary artfully and liberally into herown writing and her heart-stopping descriptions of Paris, escapes, and internecine warring createa narrative thatâ€s as dramatic as a novel or a film. Olson honors Fourcadeâ€s fight forfreedom and her â€˜refusal to be silencedâ€ with a gripping narrative that will thrill WWII historybuffs.â€•â€”Publishers Weekly (starred review) â€œIncredibly absorbing and long-overdue . . .ÂThis masterfully told true story reads like fiction and will appeal to readers who devour WWII
thrillers Ã la Kristen Hannahâ€sÂ The Nightingale.â€•â€”B
