The Irregulars: Roald Dahl and the British Spy Ring in Wartime Washington (12 hrs): Prior to the U.S. entering WWII, a small coterie of British spies in Washington, D.C., was formed...Among them were writers Roald Dahl, Ian Fleming, and the flamboyant
Canadian industrialist turned professional saboteur William Stephenson,
known by the code name "Intrepid", upon whom Fleming would later base
his fictional M16 agent James Bond. Richly detailed and carefully
researched, Conant's narrative uses never-before-seen wartime letters,
diaries and interviews to create a fascinating, lively account of
deceit, double dealing and moral ambiguity - all in the name of victory.
