 The privileged daughter of an American woman and a descendant of Indian royalty, Noor Inayat Khan was an unlikely war hero. Trained as a musician, she was slightly clumsy, dreamy, and wrote children s fairy stories in Paris. The Nazi invasion of France changed the direction of her life. Fleeing to England with her family, gentle Noor concluded that the fascists represented a great evil. She volunteered her services to the Allies despite her Sunni Muslim faith, which advocated pacifism. Extraordinarily conscientious and brave, Noor was the first female radio operator to be sent into Nazi-occupied France by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) at a time when agents reputedly had a life expectancy of just six weeks. When the Nazis shut down her network, she did the work of six people as the Nazis closed in on her. Noor was eventually betrayed and captured. In ten months of torture and brutal interrogation, she didn t give the Gestapo a single item of information, including her real name. Eventually, this remarkable woman was taken to Dachau Concentration Camp and shot.  Timewatch  tells the Princess Spy s tragic and inspirational story.
