Hello, and thank you for listening to The History of World War II podcast.

Episode 386, interview with Damien Lewis about his latest book, Agent Josephine, American

Beauty, French Hero, British Spy.

Mr. Lewis, the author of Churchill's Secret Warriors, Hunting the Nazi Bomb, and many other

World War II tomes, has written about the beautiful but scrappy Josephine Baker during

the war.

She had it all until the Nazis invaded her beloved France.

Now she will fight back, but in her own special way.

Mr. Lewis, thank you very much for being with us today.

Yeah, no, it's a pleasure as always.

It's good to be back.

Absolutely.

I was just telling my wife.

I think this is your third or fourth time on the show.

So then she's turned to me and she said, well, get his address and send him his part

of the royalties because that's not fair.

So she made a valid point.

No, but you've written so many books on World War II and other subjects.

I'm sure you'll be back on the show, but I'm glad you wrote this book because like most

people who have read about World War II, yeah, I've heard the name Josephine Baker.

I know she was an American who went to Paris and she was in, she sang songs and film and

stage.
