Reviews

This is a wonderful book, a compelling book, a scholarly book that reads like a suspense novel or tragic drama. Its riveting historical-political analysis of rarely seen archival documents reveals a hidden tale of two British women writers' heroic work on behalf of truth and Nazi Germany's persecuted Jews within the often brutal, masculine American institutions of 1930s and 1940s Hollywood, government, and politics. * Kristin Bluemel, Professor of English and Wayne D. McMurray Endowed Chair in the Humanities, Monmouth University, US *
