Publisher's Synopsis
Lisbon had a pivotal role in World War II, though not a gun was fired there. The only European city in which both the Allied and Axis powers operated openly, it temporarily lodged much of Europes exiled royalty, over one million refugees, and a host of spies, secret police, bankers, Jews, writers, artists, and others. An operations officer described the daily scene at Lisbons airport as being like the movie Casablancatimes twenty.
