Join Elyse Graham (Stony Brook University) and writers Helen Fry (University College London) and Michelle Young (CUNY) for a discussion of Professor Graham’s new Book and Dagger, a work that explores the story of a group of humanities scholars – literature professors, librarians, and historians – recruited as spies by the Office of Strategic Services during World War II and whose efforts in Europe contributed to the foundations of modern intelligence and, after the war, to the transformation of American higher education.
