Sometimes, instead of finding resources and ignoring pronunciation guides, Theresa and Angie interview some really awesome people who do the work for them.

This week, they interview Jason Bell, a Fulbright professor and historian. Jason’s new book, titled Operation Sparrow, covers the little-known mission of sending three commandos behind enemy lines in Hungary during WWII, with the express mission to negotiate Hungary’s surrender to the Allies.

Once they arrive, though, things change, and they find themselves attempting to convince the Third Reich of alternate locations for the D-Day invasion.

So of course, this story hooks both Theresa and Angie. It’s got spies. Explosions. At one point, they take over a prison.

Get this book from your local independent bookshop, or support Theresa’s favorite, Powell’s.
