Total copies: 2
No American city was more important to the Nazis than Los Angeles, home to Hollywood, the greatest propaganda machine in the world. The Nazis plotted to kill the city's Jews and to sabotage the nation's military installation. U.S. law enforcement agencies were not paying close attention and only Leon Lewis and his daring ring of spies stood in the way. From 1933 until the end of World War II, attorney Leon Lewis, the man Nazis would come to call 'the most dangerous Jew in Los Angeles,' ran a spy operation comprised of military veterans and their wives who infiltrated every Nazi and fascist group in Los Angeles. Featuring a large cast of Nazis, undercover agents, and colourful supporting players, Steven J. Ross tells the story of Lewis's daring spy network in a time when hate groups had moved from the margins to the mainstream.
