À propos de cet audio

 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.©1987 by Aline, Countess of Romanones (P)1995 by Blackstone Audiobooks Europe Femmes Guerres et conflits Militaire True Crime Guerre Amérique Latine

The fact that this story is real is remarkable… so often it felt like a fiction espionage thriller. Aline was brave and confident, bold and groundbreaking, bright and delightful. Great setting in Madrid, during WWII. Highly recommended.

This is a great story, based on real events and experiences. A young recruit in a young spy agency, violence, glamour, history, persistence and excitement. It took me a while to get into the story, but once I did, I was hooked. The narrator was okay, I slowed the speed to 90%. A recommended read for a view of WW II from beautiful Spain.

This is a fun read, and well narrated. It describes the experience of high society in Spain during world war II and gives a flavour of the activities of allied and axis secret intelligence services in Madrid in the last year of the war. My understanding is that this is a highly embellished account, so take the author's it with a grain of salt, and enjoy the ride.

Fun
