The World War II History Book Discussion Group will continue their discussion of The Irregulars: Roald Dahl and the British Spy Ring in Wartime Washington by Jennet Conant (Simon & Schuster, $16.00). Conant offers a rollicking true story of spies, politicians, journalists, and intrigue in the highest circles of Washington during the tumultuous days of World War II. It is an extraordinary tale of deceit, double-dealing, and moral ambiguity — all in the name of victory. Richly detailed and meticulously researched, Conant’s compelling narrative draws on never-before-seen wartime letters, diaries, and interviews and provides a rare, and remarkably candid, insider’s view of the counterintelligence game.
