Author. Filmmaker. Spy. Marguerite Harrison was born into Gilded Age American privilege and launched a successful career as a culture writer for the Baltimore Sun as a young widow. But when America entered World War I, Harrison secretly applied for a position in intelligence. She was sent undercover into Germany after the armistice.With her society connections and gift for languages, Harrison delivered reports of mounting tensions and the growing power of the German right, and returned home an unsung heroine. Harrison next fought for an intelligence posting in the newly formed Soviet Union. Posing as a reporter sympathetic to the Communist cause, she entered the USSR and was soon caught and jailed as a spy. Set the terrifying task of becoming a double agent for the Soviets, she strove to remain loyal to America. In both places, Harrison saw the future --a second war with Germany, a cold war with the Soviets--and was little believed back home. Janet Wallach captures Harrison's daring and glamour in this stranger-than-fiction history of a socialite drawn to the impossible"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Harrison, Marguerite, $d 1879-1967. 610 10 $a United States. $b Military Intelligence Division $b Military Intelligence Division $x History. 650 0 $a Espionage, American $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Espionage, American $z Soviet Union $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Soviet Union $x Politics and government $y 1917-1936. $9 75708 650 0 $a Spies $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women intelligence officers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Journalists $z Baltimore $z Baltimore $v Biography. 650 0 $a Intelligence officers $z United States $v Biography. $9 81859 651 0 $a Baltimore (Md.) $v Biography. $9 119091 941 $a 14 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702025205.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524011040.0 952 $l OJPC027 $d 20240425162918.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409044835.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20240227010701.0 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119021020.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20231109010544.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20231005013431.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230906010356.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230906010200.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230902011240.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230902010525.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20230831010255.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20230808010119.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F60E0D6CD2B011ED872B743748ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
