299 S. Signiertes Exemplar mit Widmung: "To Helen Robinson with best wishes - sincerely, Leon G. Turrou". Turrou war FBI Agent und Nazi-Jäger, der Im Februar 1938 von FBI-Direktor J. Edgar Hoover mit der Leitung der Ermittlungen im Fall Rumrich, einem Fall ausländischer Spionage, beauftragt wurde. Turrous Entschluss, am 20. Juni 1938 vom FBI zurückzutreten und die Details der Ermittlungen in einer Reihe von Zeitungsartikeln öffentlich zu machen, führte zu einer 27 Jahre andauernden Vendetta Hoovers. Turrous Zusammenarbeit mit der New York Post und Warner Brothers Pictures trug jedoch maßgeblich dazu bei, die Amerikaner auf die Nazi-Bedrohung aufmerksam zu machen, die öffentliche Meinung gegen die Neutralität zu lenken und die Finanzierung von Spionageabwehrbehörden vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zu erhöhen (Wikipedia). *-*-*-*-*-*- SHIPPING COSTS to other EU-COUNTRIES occasionally may be different than indicated (according to the weight).
