Lord Haw-Haw & William Joyce
J. A. Cole (Author)
"William Joyce, to whose Nazi broadcasts all England listened with mesmerized attention (because of the few true incidents he always included), qualified as one of the most hated men of World War II. Although a predecessor of his was the original 'Lord Haw-Haw, ' this nickname stuck to Joyce. Before the war's end he had achieved the largest audience an English-speaking traitor ever had. ... Based largely on hitherto inaccessible material, this is the definitive and only authoritative work on William Joyce. It reveals that he was born in New York, explains why he went to Germany and what he did with his much discussed passport--a critical document that disproved his contention that he did not claim English citizenship. It also shows how he lived and worked in Berlin, and he came to be in that Flensburg wood where he was captured. In a series a remarkable letters the story rises to an emotional peak with Joyce's own account of his months in prison, his appearance in the House of Lords for his appeal, and his thoughts while being sentenced to death as a traitor."-- Dust jacket
