Description
Through his friend and British diplomat Harold Nicolson, he meets Winston Churchill and Eddie Marsh, and is also drawn into joining the Daily Express in Berlin. There he and his boss Seftn Delmar are admitted into the inner circles of the Nazi hierarchy, including direct contact with Hitler. Later, as war looms, through his American friends from the expatriate days in Paris, he is recruited into the OSS just as it is being set up by ‘Wild Bill” Donovan. From there he becomes directly involved with the dramatic events of the early days of the Second World War, when he serves as the secret eyes and ears of President Roosevelt in the meetings between the British and the French. Through the War he devotes all his efforts to saving Jews from the Nazis. By 1945, having lived through the evil and inhumanity of the war and the Holocaust, he is left saddened and disillusioned, but still clinging to his ultimate faith in humankind. Hardcover.
