Riveting biographies in \u003ci\u003eBerlin Calling\u003c\/i\u003e put real names and faces behind the voices of The Georgia Peach, Mr. O.K., Paul Revere, and others. Were they motivated by antipathy towards New Deal programs or were they simply hucksters in search of a payroll check? Ten years on historical research have culminated in a landmark book with intriguing answers to these puzzling questions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished to coincide with the 50th anniversary of America's entry into World War II, this volume chronicles the careers of eight U.S.A. Zone commentators who worked for Nazi propagandist Josef Goebbels. Drawing upon a variety of documentary sources--letters written by the subjects to family, friends, and colleagues; treason trial transcripts; the contents of the BBC's wartime monitoring service; and FBI case files on the broadcasters--the author explores each broadcaster's political and personal motivations, and the influence of their broadcasts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Carver Edwards\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275939057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275939052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.50w x 0.99d","brand":"John Carver Edwards","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48152951554303,"sku":"9780275939052","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_06d44f49-cf07-411b-ab31-2c6b1b2ce0ed.jpg?v=1770780309","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/berlin-calling-john-carver-edwards-9780275939052","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
