Before the Second World War, Josephine Baker (1906-1975) was one of the most famous performers in the world. She made her name dancing on the Parisian stage, but when war broke out she decided not to return to America. Instead, Baker turned spy for the French Secret Services. In this engaging, deeply researched study, Hanna Diamond tells the full story of Baker’s actions for the French and Allied powers in World War Two.

This is a collection of the letters I wrote to Noam Chomsky and L.Fletcher Prouty, and a few others, over a period of six years (1989-1995), along with some essays that derive from this correspondence. Opinion is still divided on the question of whether President Kennedy was assassinated because he had decided to withdraw from Vietnam. Chomsky is the primary advocate of one point of view, and I know of no one who has challenged him on it to the extent that I have, as documented in this book.
