<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Two years prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese and German spies are pitted against a diverse team of U.S. counter-intelligence agents recruited from the FBI, the Office of Naval Intelligence and the Baltimore City Police Department. As the Axis operatives and their American supporters scheme to steal top-secret U.S. radar technology, cripple the production of advanced military aircraft and assassinate the government official responsible for ramping up war-winning research and development programs, a small band of U.S. expendables is all that stands in the way of Hitler's and Hirohito's henchmen--and their plans to defeat America before it even enters World War II.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Two years prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese and German spies are pitted against a diverse team of U.S. counter-intelligence agents recruited from the FBI, the Office of Naval Intelligence and the Baltimore City Police Department. As the Axis operatives and their American supporters scheme to steal top-secret U.S. radar technology, cripple the production of advanced military aircraft and assassinate the government official responsible for ramping up war-winning research and development programs, a small band of U.S. expendables is all that stands in the way of Hitler's and Hirohito's henchmen--and their plans to defeat America before it even enters World War II. <p/>In 1939, high school history teacher Martin Victor receives a telegram ordering him to report to the Department of the Navy in Washington, DC. What begins as a mysterious job interview at the Office of Naval Intelligence becomes a descent into the lethal, zero-sum game of espionage being played against ruthless and relentless Japanese and German spy masters on the unforgiving streets of Baltimore and Washington. <p/>Martin finds himself teamed with a peculiarly iconoclastic band of fellow expendables culled from the ranks of the Baltimore City Police Department and the FBI. Together this collection of U.S. counter-intelligence agents abandons bureaucratic protocols and operates according to the dictates of Baltimore Logic to prevent their murderously Machiavellian adversaries from disrupting the United States' ability to wage modern war. <p/>This sophisticated historical novel tracks one man's evolution from pawn to knight, living and loving nobly while caught in a maelstrom where honor, courage and commitment may not be enough to win the day--or even survive.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Basil Truscott is a retired teacher of Advanced Placement Economics and History. Prior to his career in public education, he worked as in-house counsel in the Office of General Counsel of two major US corporations. <p/>He has been married for nearly 50 years, and is a father of three and grandfather of four.
