Agents of Influence: The British Plot to Change America's Mind
Autor Henry Hemmingen Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 oct 2019
The
fascinating
story
of
the
British
spy
who
was
sent
to
America
to
manipulate
public
opinion
and
influence
the
presidential
election
of
1940...and
draw
America
into
World
War
II.
The question of whether America should get into World War II led to one of the largest and most consequential political feuds in our history. The British government, already pulled into the war, was seeking to recruit a powerful ally, but first they needed the help of the American public. The MI5 agent William Stephenson was chosen to change their minds, by any means necessary.
In
this
fast-paced
and
surprising
book,
Henry
Hemming
shows
how
Stephenson
came
to
New
York
and
flooded
the
American
market
with
propaganda
in
an
effort
to
re-elect
Franklin
Roosevelt
and
show
the
devastation
wrought
by
the
Nazis.
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.
