The Irregulars Baker Street British Spies in Wartime Washington | Jennet Conant

Author Jennet Conant talking of her 2008 book The Irregulars:

... a rollicking true story of spies, politicians, journalists, and intrigue in the highest circles of Washington during the tumultuous days of World War II.

When Roald Dahl, a dashing young wounded RAF pilot, took up his post at the British Embassy in 1942, his assignment was to use his good looks, wit, and considerable charm to gain access to the most powerful figures in American political life. Better than any spy fiction, The Irregulars is a fascinating, lively account of deceit, double dealing, and moral ambiguity—all in the name of victory. Richly detailed and carefully researched, Conant’s masterful narrative is based on never-before-seen wartime letters, diaries, and interviews.

My Tradecraft Things

Deaddrops near roses, whispers with Britons
Five Eyes exchanges and CIA missions
Brown paper packages of OTP'd strings
These are a few of my favourite things

Black Cubing smartphones from Apple and Google
Doorbells with cameras and shotgun mic'd poodles
Stingrays that fly through the sky on drone wings
These are a few of my favourite things

Girls in white dresses with zero-day stashes
Handshakes MITM'd by elite anti-fashes
Foiled white nationalist conspiracy rings
These are a few of my favorite things

When MOSSAD bites
When cagey bees sting
When I'm feeling MAD
I simply remember my tradecraft things
And them I don't feel so bad
