Why read it?

1 author picked The Nazi Spy Ring in America as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is a sort of origin story for Breuer's characters, centered more tightly on a mid-1930s Nazi ring uncovered by the FBI's best investigator, Leon Turrou, and splashed across American newspapers’ front pages in 1938. Jeffreys-Jones' book, released in 2020, also shows why multi-stranded nonfiction has become a popular form.

From David's list on spies and espionage in WW2.
