Jennet Conant

Conant tells the story of young writer Roald Dahl who is assigned by His Majesty's Government to Washington, D.C. as a diplomat to gather intelligence about America's isolationist circles. In the course of his "spying," he meets or works closely with David Ogilvy, Ian Fleming, and the great spymaster William Stephenson (aka Intrepid).

Well-researched, but I found the writing loosely organized and confusing at times. Perhaps this is because I read it just after reading Unbroken which was better focused, more energetic, and clear. Good background information, though, for Camp Shows.
