The book shares how the OSS used a group of unlikely spies in Greece during World War II to fight the Nazis and protect their homeland. Led by Rodney Young, the “Greek Desk” used their knowledge and connections to hide valuable artifacts and trick the Nazis with fake ones. When these efforts were no longer enough, Greek American soldiers joined the fight against the Nazis. Overall, the book shows how intelligence, courage, and teamwork helped protect both Greece and its history. Interview date Thursday, 28 May 2026.
