Joséphine BAKER
Joséphine BAKER worked as a secret agent of Free France, then in the Free French Air Forces.
This book tells of his early involvement in the Resistance and in the intelligence of Free France, a story little known because eclipsed by his career as a star.
My father Georges had met her once in Paris, when she was with Jo Bouillon, then another time in Milandes in the Dordogne.

THE STORY OF PAT O'LEARY
BY VINCENT BROME
Which admirably traces the atmosphere of this time of daily danger and urgency experienced by men in the shadows, men of the Resistance and those who came from England in enemy land, full of traps.
Pat O'Leary (Dr Albert Marie Guerisse) British MI 9 agent, created an escape network throughout France which saved many British and American pilots shot down in France, escapees and resistance fighters. He was arrested by the Gestapo and deported to the Mathausen and Dachau camps.
The organization's radio station was based in Montauban where Pat O'Leary visited several times. Tom Groome, the radio, was arrested by the Gestapo with the Cheramys who were lodging him.
It is possible that my father Georges, from whom I have this book, knew him, but I am not sure. However, what I do know is that my father had met Françoise Dissart in Toulouse.
