Specificatii
The New York Times bestselling author of the acclaimed Dark
Invasion, channels Erik Larson and Ben Macintyre in this riveting
biography of Betty Pack, the dazzling American debutante who became
an Allied spy during WWII and was hailed by OSS chief General Wild
Bill Donovan as the greatest unsung heroine of the war.Betty Pack
was charming, beautiful, and intelligent--and she knew it. As an
agent for Britain's MI-6 and then America's OSS during World War
II, these qualities proved crucial to her success. This is the
remarkable story of this Mata Hari from Minnesota (Time) and the
passions that ruled her tempestuous life--a life filled with
dangerous liaisons and death-defying missions vital to the Allied
victory.For decades, much of Betty's career working for MI-6 and
the OSS remained classified. Through access to recently
unclassified files, Howard Blum discovers the truth about the
attractive blond, codenamed Cynthia, who seduced diplomats and
military attaches across the globe in exchange for ciphers and
secrets; cracked embassy safes to steal codes; and obtained the
Polish notebooks that proved key to Alan Turing's success with
Operation Ultra.Beneath Betty's cool, professional determination,
Blum reveals a troubled woman conflicted by the very traits that
made her successful: her lack of deep emotional connections and her
readiness to risk everything. The Last Goodnight is a mesmerizing,
provocative, and moving portrait of an exceptional heroine whose
undaunted courage helped to save the world.
