Non-Fiction Biography
Now in paperback, and following her extraordinary,
bestselling, and much-acclaimed accounts of the most guarded
secrets of the Second World War, here is a rollicking true
story of spies, politicians, journalists, and intrigue in
the highest circles of Washington during the tumultuous days
of World War II. When Roald Dahl, a dashing young wounded RAF pilot, took up
his post at the British Embassy in 1942, his assignment was
to use his good looks, wit, and considerable charm to gain
access to the most powerful fig- ures in American political
life. Better than any spy fiction, The Irregulars is a
fascinating, lively account of deceit, double dealing, and
moral ambiguity—all in the name of victory. Richly detailed
and carefully researched, Conant’s masterful narrative is
based on never-before-seen wartime letters, diaries, and
interviews.
