In November 1942, the Allies make their first major move against Adolf Hitler's empire with Operation Torch, an amphibious assault in French North Africa. Operatives from the OSS are already on the ground gathering intelligence to lay the groundwork for a successful operation, but the complex dynamics between occupied and unoccupied France thwart many of their efforts. Meanwhile, British spies and operatives increasingly work alongside their American allies, including several who will go on to prominent postwar careers.
Host Bradley W. Hart is joined by Peter Crean, Michael Bell, John Curatola, Mary Kathryn Barbier, and Nick Reynolds.
