Conversations: Spies in My Blood, w/ Alex Storozynski

from History Shorts

In this powerful interview, History Shorts welcomes Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist, historian, and author Alex Storozynski to discuss his gripping book Spies in My Blood, a deeply personal exploration of espionage, resistance, and family legacy in 20th-century Europe. Drawing on newly uncovered intelligence files, wartime records, and family history long shrouded in silence, Storozynski reveals how members of his own Polish family waged a hidden war against both Nazi and Communist regimes. The conversation moves between the intimate and the geopolitical: how secrets are passed down through generations, how totalitarian systems rely on fear and betrayal, and how ordinary people are forced into extraordinary moral choices.   BUY ALEX'S BOOK: https://www.amazon.com/Spies-My-Blood-Familys-Communists/dp/B0DGFCDTJZ    SUPPORT THE SHOW: https://www.patreon.com/c/HistoryShortsPodcast ADVERTISE: https://www.historyshortspodcast.com/advertise  LEARN MORE: https://www.historyshortspodcast.com/   EPISODE SPONSORED BY THE COLLECTOR: www.thecollector.com
