このコンテンツについて
“Goodman’s gripping account chronicles the events—both courageous and horrifying—and illustrates how loyalty and betrayal can coincide in wartime and its aftermath.”—The Washington Post
“A heart-pounding tale that is impossible to put down.”—Lynne Olson, author of Madame Fourcade's Secret War
LONGLISTED FOR THE AMERICAN LIBRARY IN PARIS BOOK AWARD • A WASHINGTON POST BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
Etta Shiber and Kate Bonnefous are the unlikeliest of heroines: two seemingly ordinary women, an American widow and an English divorcée, living quietly together in Paris. Yet during the Nazi occupation, these two friends find themselves unexpectedly plunged into the whirlwind of history. With the help of a French country priest and others, they set out to rescue British and French soldiers trapped behind enemy lines—some of whom they daringly smuggle through Nazi checkpoints hidden inside the trunk of their car.
Ultimately the Gestapo captures them both. After eighteen months in prison, Etta is returned to the United States in a prisoner exchange. Back home, hoping to bring attention to her friend Kitty’s bravery, she publishes a memoir about their work. Paris-Underground becomes a publishing sensation and Etta a celebrity. Meanwhile Kate spends the rest of the war in a Nazi prison, entirely unaware of the book that has been written about her—and the deeds that have been claimed in her name.
In researching this story, Matthew Goodman uncovered military records and personal testimonies that reveal, for the first time, the shocking truth behind Etta’s memoir and the unexpected, far-reaching consequences of its publication. More than just a story of two women’s remarkable courage, Paris Undercover is a vivid, gripping account of deceit, betrayal, and personal redemption.

“Goodman’s gripping account chronicles the events—both courageous and horrifying—and illustrates how loyalty and betrayal can coincide in wartime and its aftermath.”—The Washington Post, “10 Noteworthy Book for February”
“Two women who took on the Nazis . . . Genuine heroism and well told, with no Hollywood ending.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Of the countless books written about the French Resistance, Paris Undercover stands out as a true original: a riveting, masterfully researched exposé of the explosive reality behind the story of two women imprisoned by the Nazis . . . a heart-pounding tale of betrayal that is impossible to put down.”—Lynne Olson, author of Madame Fourcade’s Secret War and Empress of the Nile
“With elegant language and his trademark meticulous research, Matthew Goodman peels back the layers of mythmaking to reveal a riveting true story that reads like a movie script and showcases the power of humans to persist in the face of overwhelming odds.” —Elizabeth Letts, author of The Perfect Horse
“A smart, vividly realized account of a daring wartime escapade that turns out to be far more complex and problematic than it first appears, Paris Undercover is a gripping and provocative feat of historical investigation—full of surprises to the very end.”—Gary Krist, author of Empire of Sin and The Mirage Factory
“A genuine surprise: not a typical World War II history but a thoughtful examination of the sometimes-blurred lines between fact and fiction, and the dangers of telling other people’s stories.”—Melanie Benjamin, New York Times bestselling author of Mistress of the Ritz and California Golden
“Just when it seems there is nothing more to learn about World War II, here comes this vivid story of an intrepid woman and her escape line, made more fascinating and poignant by its tangled afterlife.”—Caroline Moorehead, author of Village of Secrets and Mussolini’s Daughter

“This is an amazing story. It’s so surprising and poignant to discover how these two middle-aged women, acting on their own, risked their lives to save Allied soldiers trapped in occupied France. And the consequences of their heroism turn out to be even more extraordinary: dear friends enmeshed in a story of desperate survival—and betrayal.”—Sarah Rose, author of D-Day Girls
