202029030Lincoln:: Potomac Books 2020. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine dust jacket. In the chaotic days after the bombing of Pearl Harbor the Roosevelt administration sent Axis diplomats to remote luxury hotels to encourage reciprocal treatment of U.S. diplomats trapped abroad. This action involved the roundup detention and eventual repatriation of more than a thousand German Japanese Italian Bulgarian and Hungarian diplomats families staff servants journalists students businessmen and spies. Such Splendid Prisons follows five of these internees whose privileged worlds came crashing down after December 7 1941: a suave calculating Nazi ambassador and his charming but conflicted wife; a wily veteran Japanese journalist; a beleaguered American wife of a Japanese spy posing as a diplomat; and a spirited but naive college-aged daughter of a German military attaché.
