Nonfiction Book Discussion - "Beverly Hills Spy" by Ronald Drabkin

Frederick Rutland, a celebrated British WWI flying ace and aviation pioneer, rose to fame as a war hero and Hollywood socialite before secretly becoming a spy for Japan. Spurned by the British military after the war, he sold intelligence on U.S. naval operations and technology that helped pave the way for Pearl Harbor, all while living a glamorous double life between Los Angeles and Tokyo. Drawing on newly declassified FBI, MI5, and Japanese naval records, Ronald Drabkin uncovers this astonishing true story of ambition, betrayal, and espionage.
