An artistic spirit raised on Sufi principles of nonviolence, Noor Inayat Khan did not seem destined for wartime heroism. Yet, faced with Nazi violence and the German occupation of France, Noor joined the British SOE and was trained in espionage, sabotage, and reconnaissance. Serving in France under an assumed identity (code-named Madeleine) for crucial months of the war, Noor significantly aided the Allies’ success on D-Day. When finally caught, she attempted two daring escapes from the Gestapo before she was killed at Dachau just months before the end of the war. Carefully distilled from interviews, newly discovered manuscripts, and personal letters, Code Name Madeleine is a deeply researched history and a thrilling tribute to Noor Inayat Khan’s courage and faith.
