<\/i>In August of 1943, the last surviving clandestine radio operator in Paris desperately signaled London for additional weapons and explosives for the French underground.\u00a0 She knew her time was limited. Within a month, she too would be taken.<\/p>\n
This is the story of a woman\u2019s extraordinary courage, tested in the crucible of Nazi-occupied Paris.\u00a0 With an American mother and Indian Sufi father, Noor Inayat Khan was an extremely unusual British agent, and her life spent growing up in a Sufi spiritual center in Paris seemed an unlikely preparation for the dangerous work to come.\u00a0 Yet it was in this place of universal peace and contemplation that her remarkable courage was forged.<\/p>\n
