SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: How Librarians Became The Unlikely Spies Of World War II
DESCRIPTION:Author Elyse Graham will discuss her new book\, Book and 
 Dagger: How Scholars and Librarians Became the Unlikely Spies of World War 
 II\, the true untold story of the academics who became OSS spies\, invented 
 modern spycraft\, and helped turn the tide of the war to defeat the Nazis. 
 At the start of WWII\, the U.S. found itself in desperate need of an 
 intelligence agency. The Office of Strategic Services (OSS)\, a precursor 
 to today’s CIA\, was quickly formed—and\, in an effort to fill its 
 ranks with experts\, the OSS turned to academia for recruits. Suddenly\, 
 literature professors\, librarians\, and historians were training to 
 perform undercover operations and investigative work—and these surprising 
 spies would go on to profoundly shape both the course of the war and our 
 cultural institutions with their efforts. Graham is a historian\, professor 
 at Stony Brook University\, and the author of three books: You Talkin’ to 
 Me?\; A Unified Theory of Cats on the Internet\; and The Republic of 
 Games.\n\nRegister directly on Zoom here\n\nRECORDING NOTE: This program
