John Cunningham Reviews Dangerous Enemy Sympathizers | Atlantic Books Today

14 hours ago

"These Jewish men, and hundreds more like them, had more in common than a universal fear of Hitler. As German jack boots goose-stepped across Luxembourg, Belgium and Holland, and as France teetered on the verge of surrender, expatriates of German, Austrian and Czechoslovakian origin who resided in the United Kingdom were widely perceived as potential Nazi spies, saboteurs or Fifth Columnists ready to set the stage for a German invasion.... Sub-titled Canadian Internment Camp B, 1940-1945, this Goose Lane Editions/New Brunswick Military Heritage Project publication was chosen winner of this year’s Democracy 250 Atlantic Book Award for Historical Writing."
