Author Damien Lewis shares the details from his book Agent Josephine of the career of Josephine Baker as a secret agent during World War II. Utilizing her celebrity as a performer, she furthered the cause of freedom as an Allied spy in the French Underground. Her adventures spanned France, Portugal, and North Africa. Her  experiences with issues of race, equality, and freedom motivated her to take brave action, but it was her natural charm and affinity for people that made her one of the most powerful secret weapons of the Allied Forces.
