Summary

When Aline Griffith was born in Pearl River, New York, in 1923, one might have guessed from her exceptional beauty that a career as an actress or model might be in her future. Few would have imagined that twenty-one years later, she would find herself in Spain as a deep-cover OSS agent, infiltrating the highest levels of Spanish society, or that five years later still, she would marry a Spanish grandee and become one of the most watched, most admired, most fascinating women of international society. This is the story of Aline, Countess of Romanones, a story of courage, beauty and success that is far more exciting than any fictionalized thriller.

Entertaining and enlightening.

For readers that already have an interest, and some prior knowledge of the clandestine operations by the Allies during WW2 this account fills in some of the gaps discovered in other stories. For a reader exploring the subject for the first time it gives an excellent insight into one woman’s actions in this field. It opens a window into the work of an operative during wartime but in an ostensibly neutral country. The American narration was quite good, so the story traveled seamlessly for the most part.
