STORYLINE:
This is the true story of the largest and most elaborate espionage operation ever mounted on American soil by a foreign country. An operation so clever that it worked both with and against the FBI, the State Department, and the White House, at the same time. So influential that it could change public opinion seemingly at will. So powerful that it changed the course of world history, past, present, and future. So influential that intelligence organizations around the world employ most of its groundbreaking techniques. This is the story of the British Security Coordination and its mysterious leader, William Stephenson, told by Tim Naftali, the only living historian to have seen the top-secret files of the WW2 operation. With added commentary and modern-day perspective from a world class group of experts in their fields.
