In 1940 The author, a 62 year old American widow living in Paris and her friend Kitty Beaurepos, helped smuggle more than 150 British servicemen out of occupied France. Inevitably they were caught and jailed. Beaurepos was sentenced to death which was later commuted to imprisonment, and Shiber was sentenced to 3 years hard labour. Shortly after America entered the war she was traded for a German spy being held in the United States. Reprinted from the 1943 Charles Scribner edition.
