Why read it?

What struck me about Agent Josephine is how it reminds you that spies are human first.

Josephine Baker wasn’t born an operative—she was a performer, an artist, a woman making choices in a world on fire. Courage alongside vulnerability.

It made me think differently about espionage. Behind every code name is a person with fears, hopes, and a life beyond the mission. Reading it grounded me; it reminded me that in the end, the heart matters as much as the tradecraft.

This book also has some wild moments!

From M. B.'s list on how the world actually works.
