Tim Tate, author of Hitlers British Traitors and The Spy Who Was Left Out in the ColdAmbassadors daughter, Nazi love interest, Soviet spy, FBI most wanted.Accompanying her parents to Berlin in the 1930s, Martha Dodd knew almost nothing about Adolf Hitler or the Nazis. Yet almost overnight, she stepped into the spotlight and found herself at the overheated center of Hitlers New Germany, befriending and dating several highranking Nazis, including the head of the Gestapo.An affair with a dashing Russian diplomat saw her recruited as a spy and so began a long and tumultuous career in both Berlin and America, including attempts to infiltrate First Lady Eleanor Roosevelts inner circle and playing a key role in Henry Wallaces disastrous 1948 presidential campaign.Betrayed by a Hollywoodhustlerturneddoubleagent, Martha spent years under deep FBI surveillance  escaping twice  and went to ground in Cold War Prague, sad, lonely, rich and bored, living out her final decades in a Communist Sunset Boulevard.Largely forgotten, Martha Dodd began to emerge as an iconic historical figure in the early 2000s. While her scandalous behavior and proSoviet leanings were never much in dispute, the actual matter of her guilt remained unresolved. Now, using recently released KGB archived information and FBI files, author and journalist Brendan McNally sets the record straight in Traitors Odyssey, telling the full epic tale of Martha Dodds life for the first time, casting her in a new and bright light.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Icon Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45902248640710,"sku":"DADAX1837732582","price":11.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/815flFHiimL.jpg?v=1780339799","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/traitors-odyssey-the-untold-story-of-martha-dodd-and-a-strange-saga-of-soviet-espionage","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
