Canadian-born MI6 officer William Stephenson, with his knowledge and influence in North America, was chosen to change their minds by any means necessary. In this extraordinary tale of foreign influence on American shores, Henry Hemming shows how Stephenson came to New York--hiring Canadian staffers to keep his operations secret--and flooded the American market with propaganda supporting Franklin Roosevelt and decrying Nazism. His chief opponent was Charles Lindbergh, an insurgent populist who campaigned under the slogan "America First" and had no interest in the war. This set up a shadow duel between Lindbergh and Stephenson, each trying to turn public opinion his way, with the lives of millions potentially on the line."-- Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Stephenson, William Samuel, $d 1896-1989. 600 10 $a Lindbergh, Charles A. $q (Charles Augustus), $d 1902-1974. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Secret service $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Propaganda. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z United States. 941 $a 5 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012020825.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210023007.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200502010202.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20200222010429.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20191011010153.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6AD6C4B8EBEC11E998D2D75397128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
