    WOW! Her movie should have starred Marlene Dietrich and Humphrey Bogart, and been a blockbuster. BIG RESPECT for Claire Phillips. And, thanks, to the International Spy Museum.

    Fabulous stories! What a remarkable woman, wish i could have met her or read her books while growing up! Thank you for bringing these tales to new generations. So inspiring to hear how people rise to the occasion when in dire circumstances… perhaps we shall find our way out of our current catastrophes after all.
