An Addendum on WWII: The Boys of Camp Ritchie
Embedded Files
This book is a compendium of over 400 biographies of Ritchie Boys; members of a secret Psychological Warfare division active during WWII. Many of these soldiers were German-Jewish refugees, and some heralded from highly influential American families, such as the Roosevelts and Rockefellers. They interrogated Axis prisoners up to the highest ranks, some engaged in Black Propaganda and spy craft, whereas others were involved in the Nuremberg Trials and more.
Post-war, we follow these men’s lives into many walks of life, from major academic institutions to the highest levels of government, business, industry, entertainment and more. In many cases, their stories are told in their own words, providing us with a collection of fresh perspectives on events leading to, during, and after WWII.
