Lynne Olson's narrative history follows Marie-Madeleine Fourcade, a young Frenchwoman who ran Alliance, the spy network that supplied the Allies with intelligence from occupied France. The book traces her recruitment, the network's growth, the betrayals and arrests that nearly destroyed it, and her own escapes, drawing on memoirs, interviews and archives. It sits with Olson's other WWII group portraits, such as Citizens of London, and reads as narrative history rather than academic analysis. Readers of popular WWII history and biography are the natural audience; those wanting deep military or tactical detail should look elsewhere.

Reviewers and readers generally praise the book as a gripping, well-researched account of a little-known female spymaster. Many call it one of Olson's strongest narratives. Complaints center on the crowded cast and the light treatment of tradecraft.
