• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

William Joyce was a man of many nations and no loyaltiesBrooklyn-born, Irish-raised, English-educated, and executed for treason. As Lord Haw-Haw, he became the infamous voice of Nazi Germany, broadcasting propaganda from Berlin with theatrical venom and icy precision.

But behind the 'Germany Calling 'microphone was a man of contradictions: fascist idealist, romantic obsessive, and political misfit.

Written with exceptional flare - this new biography traces Joyce's entire arcfrom street-fighting fascist in 1930s London to his final broadcasts in the ruins of Berlin, and from his turbulent marriage to Margaret to his trial and execution at Wandsworth.

Drawing on private letters, unpublished wartime broadcast transcripts from British and U.S. archives, and contemporary accounts, this new work reveals the man behind the myth.

It is a story of ideology and intimacy, fanaticism and failure, and the strange, haunting voice that once echoed across Europe.
