From a quiet suburban life in New York, Aline Griffith was a young woman eager to contribute to the World War II effort. With limited experience beyond modeling, her desire led her to a chance encounter that changed her path entirely. She was recruited into the Office of Strategic Services, the precursor to the CIA, and quickly underwent training to become a covert operative.
Sent to Spain, her initial role as a coder soon expanded into a mission to infiltrate Madrid's elite society. Amidst a glamorous backdrop of galas and dinner parties, Aline navigated a world of high-ranking officials and diplomats, recruiting sub-agents and engaging in deep-cover espionage to counter Nazi operations. Her dedication to her country continued even after she married into Spanish nobility, becoming the Countess of Romanones. This true story reveals the daring adventures of an American woman who risked everything, offering a look into the hidden complexities of wartime espionage and the courage of an unlikely spy.
