	<description>Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above.</description>

		<description>Hope they do film her story as its such a fascinating subject. Someone from her back ground, she had all the riches and comforts in life, yet she chose to sacrifice herself to make  this world a better place.If nobody else makes  a film, I will.</description>

		<description>Did a lot of research since 1997 on Noor&#039;s life. Much confusion has developed about her deeds. I used all information available and using the skeleton facts, I fictionalized her life and accomplishments in the novel &#039;The Careless Spy&#039;</description>

		<description>There&#039;s a new book on the life of Noor Inayat Khan: &quot;Spy Princess&quot;, which is based on recently released official SOE records as well as interviews with family and associates of Noor&#039;s.  It&#039;s a great read and available at www.omegapub.com</description>

		<description>David,
yes, all those details I listed are in conflict with your and other sources; especially when you go into Sufi sites, the thing looks more like a legend/fiction. Like crying &quot;Vive la Liberte&quot; while being shot in the back of the head, after severe beating - hughly improbable.

I guess it&#039;d be an easy material for Bollywood-kind melodrama; hope the directors will not submit to temptation.</description>

		<description>Tatyana...Noor was definitely not the first female agent sent to France. It is possible that she was the first female *wireless operator*, since not all agents had her high-grade Morse skills.</description>

		<description>Noor&#039;s been  -- deservedly -- exciting the imagination of a few different artists lately. There&#039;s a CD of music out, some choreography, and the Basu book is now published in the US, as well as the UK.</description>

		<description>This is such a strange and fascinating story, in some sense - an ultimate anti-Mata Hari-story, it got me interested. I tried few variations of spelling of her name in Russian and made a search; the resulting links were even stranger. Search in English, too brought some deviations.

Some more pictures and some unmentioned details of her biography are &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.angelfire.com/co/begumnoor/#biography&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. There are discrepancies in details from the one told in the post above &quot;she was 1st woman sent to France as an agent&quot; - vs. 2 more female agents in the plane; she is claimed to be serving in London in capacity of &quot;Assistant Section Officer in the Women&#039;s Auxiliary Air Force&quot;; the time in prison/details of arrest, etc all vary.
There are more details of her life, some quite ornate and/or sounding improbable that I found in her younger brother Vilayat&#039;s testimony (in Russian), as part of a Sufi sermon /lesson, on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.universalinternetlibrary.ru/book/vilayat/7.shtml&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. This is a collection of teachings by his father, which he interprets for contemporary audience; it&#039;s called &quot;Awakening. The Sufis&#039; heritage&quot;.

&quot;while talking about Jeanne D&#039;Arc, I remember my sister Noor...she played harp,...planned to publish teenage magazine &quot;New Era&quot;. ...During the first days of WWII she learned about unthinkable sufferings of Jewish people(!-TE) and she made a decision to become a radio communicator...I was present at the court hearings (probably in Paris after the War, a case against the collaborator who betrayed N.I-Khan - TE) and heard the testimony of that French woman; she said she called Gestapo and offered information regarding my sister&#039;s whereabouts for a [&quot;x&quot; number of]franks], despite the fact that consequential arrests concerned hundreds of people, including her own brother. She was acquitted. [...]After Noor tried to escape, she was transfered to the prison in Karlsruhe, where she was kept for 10 months in high-security cell, in handcuffs and footchains. ...In Dachau she was beaten and left bleeding on concrete floor, and on the next day - beaten again until she became an unrecognizable bloody mess, per witness&#039; account (who is the witness?-TE) She was put on her knees and shot in the back of the head; dying, she cried &quot;Vive la Liberte!&quot;.Etc.

There is also &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sufimovement.ru/family.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this site&lt;/a&gt; (the language becomes more and more ornate), &quot;A Sufi&#039;s Message: Freedom of Spirit&quot;; this page is short life biography of Nuur&#039;s mother, American from Albuquerque. Which deserves a separate post - or even a movie - by itself.</description>

		<description>Did anyone see &quot;Charlotte Gray?&quot; The leading character was supposed to be modeled on the real female SOE agents. I was kind of disappointed in it.</description>

		<description>Done correctly, this could be a truly great movie.  I hope it is done as a big budget, full-scale epic.  She deserves it.</description>
