The Irregulars, by Jennet Conant.

[matt_doyle]

Fantastic nonfiction about Roald Dahl and his role in British Intelligence in WWII, helping to manipulate the US into a deeper involvement in Europe.  From planting evidence on Nazi spies to seducing Congresswomen, I've read duller James Bond novels.

Thanks to rthstewart for writing the amazing fic which clued me in to the existence of this book and the exploits contained within. 

If you;'re interested in spies, politics, history, WW2 in fiction or non-, I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
