Description

An account of the life and wartime work of Noor Inayat Khan written by her personal friend Jean Overton Fuller. Noor Inayat Khan, daughter of Hazrat Inayat Khan and Ora Ray Baker, was SOE’s first woman wireless transmitter in German-occupied Paris during World War II. Posthumously awarded the George Cross MBE and Croix de Guerre with Gold Star for her wartime service and heroism, Noor’s remarkable and inspiring life have been commemorated in numerous war memorials, WWII histories, and several films. Based on official documents and interviews with Noor’s family, friends, fellow SOE agents, Resistance members, Noor’s German interrogators, and other prisoners of war. Previously unpublished material includes a retrospective by Noor’s brother Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan.
