About the Author:
Jimmy Burns is an author and journalist. Among his previous books are The Land That Lost Its Heroes (Somerset Maugham non-fiction prize, 1987), Hand of God: The Life of Diego Maradona and Barca: A People's Passion. He lives in London.
From Booklist:
The author’s father served the British cause in World War II as a press attaché at the Madrid embassy, a role Burns fils researched for this book. Certain credentials commended Burns père to the diplomatic post: a Catholic, he was a socially connected editor who supported the Nationalists in the Spanish civil war. As he looked into his father’s activities in Spain, Burns discovered two original sources: correspondence with a love interest, Ann Bowes-Lyon, a cousin of the queen, and an MI5 dossier—the counterintelligence service suspected him of being too pro-Franco and possibly a German agent. Integrated with extant histories, Burns’ new information depicts a historical setting of the kind of intrigue that tempts spy novelists such as Alan Furst. In the real secret war with the Nazis, Thomas Burns’ efforts apparently were not confined to propaganda and press relations. Recounting his father’s extracurricular work, the author levelly assesses their results without overrating their effect on Britain’s strategic aim of keeping Spain neutral. The audience for WWII espionage should warm to Burns’ tale. --Gilbert Taylor
