Author. Filmmaker. Spy. Marguerite Harrison was born into Gilded Age American privilege and launched a successful career as a culture writer for the Baltimore Sun as a young widow. But when America entered World War I, Harrison secretly applied for a position in intelligence. She was sent undercover into Germany after the armistice. With her society connections and gift for languages, Harrison delivered reports of mounting tensions and the growing power of the German right, and returned home an unsung heroine. Harrison next fought for an intelligence posting in the newly formed Soviet Union. Posing as a reporter sympathetic to the Communist cause, she entered the USSR and was soon caught and jailed as a spy. Set the terrifying task of becoming a double agent for the Soviets, she strove to remain loyal to America. In both places, Harrison saw the future--a second war with Germany, a cold war with the Soviets--and was little believed back home. Janet Wallach captures Harrison's daring and glamour in this stranger-than-fiction history of a socialite drawn to the impossible" -- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult New Books 327.1273 Harrison Wa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 327.1273 Harrison Wa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 327.1273 Harrison Wa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY:Kahului Public Library Adult Nonfiction 327.1273 Harrison Wa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 327.1273 Harrison Wa Checked out 05/08/2024 Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Harrison Wa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
