 From the New York Times bestselling author, the incredible true story of the American archaeologists and classicists who went undercover as OSS spies during World War II to fight the Nazis and protect the world's most precious relics

In 1942, as head of the newly formed OSS, Wild Bill Donovan deployed spies across Europe and around the world to try to thwart the Nazis. In Greece, Nazis weren’t just taking over territory; they were seizing and threatening to destroy some of the world’s most important and valuable historical monuments and artifacts. So, Donovan tapped a young Ivy League-trained archaeologist named Rodney Young to assemble and lead a team of spies to collect intel.

Young set about recruiting the most unlikely of spies—academics, classicists, epigraphers, and other specialists and scholars—who would come to be kown as “the Greek Desk.” These men and women, along with their Greek allies, went undercover and tried desperately to protect some of the world’s most significant treasures. The archaeologists hid priceless artifacts in ancient caves, bank vaults, and even underneath the city of Athens itself. They created fakes to give over to the Nazis to appease their lust for these remarkable works. Ultimately, when it became clear the cat-and- mouse game on its own wasn’t going to save Athens, they brought in an army of Greek American soldiers to beat back the Nazi regime and save their homeland. ギリシャ ヨーロッパ 古代 戦争・紛争 政治・政府 第二次世界大戦 自由・安全 諜報・スパイ 軍

批評家のレビュー

Praise for The American School of Spies:

“A cloak-and-dagger WWII tale that reads like an Indiana Jones saga, but the story is painfully real. Talty pulls back the curtain on the intricacies of real life espionage, dropping you into the middle of war-torn Greece and a race against time to save the world’s greatest antiquities from the clutches of the Nazis. This gripping account, set in the shadow of the ancient Acropolis, will leave you breathless.” — Christine Kuehn, author of Family of Spies: A World War II Story of Nazi Espionage, Betrayal, and the Secret History Behind Pearl Harbor
