A really interesting history, though the author's deep personal interest sometimes makes me question the presentation of the triumphs and failures of this aspect of British covert involvement in World War II. A very accessible and quick read of a chapter of World War II that parallels current events and remains relevant in how we should consider media and international interference in other countries' domestic affairs.

I was given an ARC from NetGalley.

I really really enjoyed this well-written account of the manipulation of public opinion by the British relative to American involvement in WWII. Obviously well researched. This was the first work I have read by this author and it won't be the last! Definitely recommended for any WWII history buffs.

A fascinating, well researched and well written book that made me learn about a background of the WWII unknown to me.
It can be read like a novel as it's engrossing and entertaining, fun to read at parts and surely interesting.
It's the first book I read bu this author and won't surely the last.
It was a great read, it's highly recommended!
Many thanks to Quercus Books and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

A great read about a massive foreign influence campaign to change American public opinion - by the Brits. To get Americans into World War 2.

Excellent use of new archival research, great writing, and a complex story told very clearly.
