the long version

"William Joyce gained notoriety as the propaganda voice of the Third Reich. Known as 'Lord Haw-Haw', he was the last man to be hanged for treason by the British Crown, executed as a British subject who had given aid and comfort to the King's enemies in time of war." "But William Joyce was not a British subject. American by birth, Irish by upbringing, there was no basis for what was seen by many as a show-trial, enacted to express post-war anger towards Hitler, Nazism and the defeated Fascist regime." "Now, sixty years after the Second World War, acclaimed journalist and author Mary Kenny explores afresh the life of William Joyce. Discovering an eccentric Irishman whose values were warped by the troubled times in which he grew up, Kenny explores Joyce's obsessive anti-Semitism, laying bare the startling realities behind one of the twentieth century's most notorious voices."--Jacket.
