Meaning of Treason by Rebecca WestMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was a fascinating work in three parts with the first largely focused on William Joyce, AKA Lord Haw Haw, the traitor broadcaster from the German propaganda office. Or, could the American-born fascist be a traitor to Britain, just because he lived there and received a passport without ever formally taking citizenship? This was the basis for his defense and while the legal wrangling is interesting, it is spycraft at home and chilly reception in Nazi Germany that makes for an interesting reading Other traitors round out the book: largely those of the British Free Corps and then, finally, deluded youngsters not yet of the age of majority.
