The Book
Liberty Lady is the true story of a WWII bomber and its crew forced to land in neutral Sweden during the Eighth Air Force’s first large-scale daylight bombing raid on Berlin. 1st Lt. Herman Allen was interned and began working for his country’s espionage agency, the OSS, with instructions to befriend a businessman suspected of selling secrets to the Germans. Soon Herman fell in love with a beautiful Swedish-American secretary working for the OSS, their courtship unfolding amid the glamour and intrigue of wartime Stockholm.
As Swedish newspapers trumpeted one of the biggest spy scandals of the war, two of the main protagonists walked down the aisle in a storybook wedding presided over by the nephew of the King of Sweden.
Until now, few books have been published in the English language about two significant topics of WWII historyㅡthe American internees in Sweden and the operations of the OSS in Stockholm.

5 Star Customer Reviews:
- If you enjoy history and biographies this book is perfect for you. The author does a great job of bringing the personal thoughts and feelings of the persons living the story and the pertinent history of the events. She does it so well. You feel you are present in the moments described, whether on the streets of London, in a B17 bomber, or during an intriguing evening of undercover. I love the author’s personal thoughts. This book brings both laughter and tears. Learned so much I did not know about the OSS, Sweden during the war, bombing missions, and internees. It is a true love story.
- A fantastic and true story of two lovely Americans finding each other in Sweden during World War II and their experience working for the OSS (predecessor to the CIA). Excellently written and so fun to read. 100% recommended.
- Once I started reading, I could not put the book down until I was finished! “Liberty Lady”, is an incredibly well-written book based on an amazing love story and filled with so much history during World War II. If you’re looking for a wonderful Christmas gift or an excellent “read”, this is the perfect treat.
