They Dared Return: The True Story of Jewish Spies behind the Lines in Nazi Germany

At the height of World War II, with the Third Reich’s Final Solution in full operation, a small group of Jews who were naturalized American citizens, having themselves barely escaped the Nazis, did the unthinkable: they went back. Trained as spies, these men took on a perilous covert mission to strike back at the Third Reich behind enemy lines.
