Product details
"A beguiling tale of espionage and double-dealing in the years leading up to World War II. ... Strap in for a narrative that demands a suspension of disbelief--and richly rewards it." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review); Best Books of February Selection The untold story of the World War I hero who became a fixture of high society in Golden Age Hollywood--all while acting as a double agent for the Japanese Empire as it prepared to attack Pearl Harbor Beverly Hills Spy reveals the story of Frederick Rutland's life of espi-onage on behalf of the Japanese Empire, selling secrets about fleet and aircraft design to the Japanese Imperial Navy that would be instrumental in its ability to attack Pearl Harbor, while col-lecting a salary ten times larger than the best-paid Japanese admirals. Based on recently declassified FBI files and until-now untranslated documents from Japanese intelligence, Ronald Drabkin brings the scope of this unforgettable tale into full focus for the first time. Rutland hides in plain sight, rubbing elbows with Amelia Earhart and hosting galas and fundraisers with superstars like Charlie Chaplin and Boris Karloff, while simultaneously passing information to Japan through spy networks across North and Central America. Countless opportunities to catch Rutland in the act are squandered by the FBI, British Intelligence, and US Naval Intelligence alike as he uses his cunning and charm to mis-direct and cast shadows of doubt over his business dealings, allowing him to operate largely unfettered for years. Beverly Hills Spy is a masterpiece of research on spy craft, a shocking narrative about an unknown but pivotal figure in history, and brings new information to light that helps us understand how Pearl Harbor happened--and how it could have been prevented.
