Lynne Olson (born August 19, 1949) is an American author, historian and journalist. She was born on August 19, 1949, and is married to Stanley Cloud, with whom she often writes. In 1969 she graduated from University of Arizona. Before becoming a writer she worked for the Associated Press and the Baltimore Sun. She has written several books on the history of the World War II era, which have received positive critical reviews. New York Times Bestseller. The little-known true story of Marie-Madeleine Fourcade, the woman who headed the largest spy network in occupied France during World War II. Brava to Lynne Olson for a biography that should challenge any outdated assumptions about who deserves to be called a hero.-- The Washington Post. In 1941 a thirty-one-year-old Frenchwoman, a young mother born to privilege and known for her beauty and glamour, became the leader of a vast intelligence organization, the only woman to serve as a chef de résistance during the war. Strong-willed, independent, and a lifelong rebel against her country's conservative, patriarchal society, Marie-Madeleine Fourcade was temperamentally made for the job. Her group's name was Alliance, but the Gestapo dubbed it Noah's Ark because its agents used the names of animals as their aliases. The name Marie-Madeleine chose for herself was Hedgehog: a tough little animal, unthreatening in appearance, that, as a colleague of hers put it, even a lion would hesitate to bite. No other French spy network lasted as long or supplied as much crucial intelligence, including providing American and British military commanders with a 55-foot-long map of the beaches and roads on which the Allies would land on D-Day, as Alliance. The Gestapo pursued them relentlessly, capturing, torturing, and executing hundreds of its three thousand agents, including Fourcade's own lover and many of her key spies. Although Fourcade, the mother of two young children, moved her headquarters every few weeks, constantly changing her hair color, clothing, and identity, she was captured twice by the Nazis. Both times she managed to escape, once by slipping naked through the bars of her jail cell, and continued to hold her network together even as it repeatedly threatened to crumble around her. Now, in this dramatic account of the war that split France in two and forced its people to live side by side with their hated German occupiers, Lynne Olson tells the fascinating story of a woman who stood up for her nation, her fellow citizens, and herself. Fast-paced and impressively researched . . . Olson writes with verve and a historian's authority. . . . With this gripping tale, Lynne Olson pays [Marie-Madeleine Fourcade] what history has so far denied her. France, slow to confront the stain of Vichy, would do well to finally honor a fighter most of us would want in our foxhole. --The New York Times Book Review. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Tamzin B. Smith (Author photograph) (illustrator).…

An interesting letter, full of content. He begins by thanking him for 'Ld Broughams letter which I have disposed of as directed'. He had 'some difficulty in making it out', but is 'glad to infer from it that there will be no war just now', although he is afraid 'there must be a feeling of humiliation which will be permanent in France when there is a permanent foreign minister (L[ouis]. N[apoleon]. himself) that will find some unpleasant expression hereafter'. He can 'hardly make out' what Brougham 'says of Goldwin Smith', but he gathers that he does not agree with him, 'that as a matter of principle and policy we ought to get rid of all our colonies at once. / As to letting them go peacably [sic] & with mutual good will, when they are of age, that is quite another thing.'. …
