Before she mastered the art of French cooking in midlife, Julia Child found herself working in the secrets trade, first as a Washington, D.C. file clerk to head of General 'Wild Bill' Donovan's secret File Registry as part of the Office of Strategic Services.
A lyrical tale written with flair and charm that reveals how Julia Child became the icon we now know, The Secret War of Julia Child allows readers to explore the unlikely world of a woman in a World War II spy station who has no idea of the impact she will eventually impart.
"The celebrated chef’s zest, humor, and generous spirit come through brilliantly in this captivating fictional take on her WWII work in Asia for a U.S. spy agency." -- People magazine
