"Madeleine: A Story of Resistance" by Jean Overton Fuller is a biography of Noor Inayat Khan, a British secret agent during World War II. The book details Khan's life, focusing on her role as a member of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) in occupied France. Known for her exceptional courage and commitment, Noor was posthumously awarded the George Cross and the Croix de Guerre with Gold Star for her valor. Fuller, a close friend of Khan, offers a deeply personal and detailed account of her contributions to the resistance and her tragic capture and execution by the Gestapo.
