Noor Inayat Khan, a descendant of the famous Emperor Tipu Sultan, was a spy during World War II. She was the first female radio operator sent to German-occupied France. He was tricked and murdered on September 13, 1944. She was only thirty years old then. The publication and popularity of this book, and a signature campaign launched by Srabani Basu in June 2010, resulted in the Vice-Chancellor of the University of London allowing Noor's memorial to be erected in Gordon Square, close to her home. Noor Inayat Khan, awarded the George Cross of the British government and the Croix de Guerre of France, is the first Asian woman to be honored by setting up a monument to her in the UK. He is also part of the Remarkable Lives series, which focuses on personalities born in 1914 whose achievements have been honored by the Royal Mail. This is the book of the most decisive importance in Noor's life.
