Publisher's Synopsis

This true story details the biggest—and most extraordinary—hoax New Zealand has ever seen. Perpetrated by former prison inmate Syd Ross and eventually commandeered by a notable public figure, the 1942 plot took advantage of New Zealanders' fears of a Japanese invasion, when the terrible struggle for world domination by the Allied and Axis powers could have gone either way.
