Publishers Weekly
"Lochery tells the gripping story of the city known as 'Casablanca
II'...engrossing and rewarding." Booklist, September 20,
2011"Lochery recounts wartime happenings in the Portuguese capital
of Lisbon, where the Allies and the Axis conducted the war through
espionage, propaganda, and diplomatic pressure on Salazar to
relinquish Portugal's neutrality. A cloak-and-dagger atmosphere
accordingly suffuses Lochery's account.... A productive archival
sleuth, [he] makes original contributions to the literature of
neutrality in WWII." Shelf Awareness"A lively, accessible and
hair-raising history revealing every sordid detail of Lisbon during
World War II--a time and place that many have chosen to forget in
order to save face." Wall Street Journal"Evocative.... [Lochery]
skillfully documents the experiences of the rich and glamorous as
well as the less fortunate and even sinister of the city's war time
arrivals... Distilling an enormous quantity of research, he has
rendered a fascinating and readable account of this small country's
role in World War II, protected, as it was, by its wily champion."
