Information Hunters: When Librarians, Soldiers, and Spies Banded Together in World War II Europe

byKathy Peiss

Kathy Peiss uses Information Hunters to investigate when Librarians, Soldiers, and Spies Banded Together in World War II Europe through a carefully framed historical account. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the wider field of history. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
