THE INVISIBLE SPY Churchill's Rockefeller Center Spy Ring and America's First Secret Agent of World War II

Anyone who believes the American entrance into WWII was easy and inevitable will be shocked to hear that the path was difficult and paved with spies, lies, and coercion. Stephen Graybill performs this audiobook with the skill of a newscaster who's recounting revelation upon revelation about the spies on both sides of the war (and the Atlantic) who were using their skills to urge Americans to join the desperate struggle against fascism, or not. The names of the spies are surprising, including James Bond creator Ian Fleming and football-hero-turned-spy Ernest Cuneo, who played an oversized role as a White House insider and Fleming ally. Newsman Walter Winchell's influence was outstanding, often counteracting propaganda from American Nazi sympathizers who encouraged Americans not to get involved with "that European war." M.S.
