As members of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), Betty MacDonald, Zuzka Lauwers, Jane Smith-Hutton and Marlene Dietrich’s lies helped win World War II. They invented rumors for spies to spread to the enemy, forged letters and military orders and produced newspapers and radio broadcasts, all to break Axis soldiers’ spirits. Still, they were expected to make coffee and sandwiches for their male coworkers. Rogak weaves an action-packed adventure of women who successfully fought Nazis and sexism.
