Gershom Gorenberg on his latest book War of Shadows - a podcast by Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI Radio in New York

(2/1/21) Israeli journalist and historian Gershom Gorenberg’s latest book War of Shadows: Codebreakers, Spies, and the Secret Struggle to Drive the Nazis from the Middle East is a cinematic story of the race for information in North Africa during World War II. Years in the making, the book dispels the notion of the war as a clash of heroes and villains instead revealing the spiraling series of failures, accidents and desperate triumphs that decided the fate of the Middle East and the world beyond it. Join us for a look at an untold corner of WWII history in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
