He was on the payroll of national radio columnist Walter Winchell and mingled with the famous and powerful. But his status as a spy remained a secret, hiding in plain sight.<\/p>\n<p> During this time, Cuneo began a love affair with one of Churchill&#8217;s agents at Rockefeller Center\u2014Margaret Watson, a beautiful Canadian woman with a photographic memory ideal for spycraft. In one nighttime attack, Watson was nearly smothered to death by a Nazi assassin inside her women\u2019s dormitory near Rockfeller Center. Cuneo\u2019s transformation from a gridiron athlete into a high-stakes intelligence go-between and political influencer is one of the great untold stories of American espionage. He has remained \u201cinvisible\u201d in the public eye\u2014until now, with this unveiled look into his life.<\/p>\n<p> From the bestselling author and producer of the hit cable series Masters of Sex, Thomas Maier delves into the little-known tales behind FDR and Churchill; Canadian William \u201cIntrepid\u201d Stephenson, who oversaw the Rockefeller Center operation; the OSS\u2019s \u201cWild Bill&#8221; Donovan and his in-house rival, Allen Dulles; and more. The Invisible Spy weaves Cuneo\u2019s remarkable personal story with the vivid and insightful portraits of many top figures in his world. Full of action and fascinating characters, this untold history shows how the British launched a far-ranging covert campaign against Nazi conspirators hidden in America, a spy war unbeknown to many.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The untold WWII story of a former NFL player turned White House insider who worked with Churchill\u2019s undercover agents in New York City to conduct the biggest foreign spy operation ever within the US, and inspired Ian Fleming&#8217;s James Bond, for fans of Ben Macintyre and Erik Larson.
