Jewish Book & Arts Fair: Howard Blum

Howard Blum’s riveting biography portrays Betty Pack, dazzling American debutante who became an Allied spy during WWII and was hailed as “the greatest unsung heroine of the war.” Pack was charming, beautiful and intelligent. These qualities proved crucial to her success. This story of “Mata Hari from Minnesota” (Time) is filled with dangerous liaisons vital to the Allied victory. Formerly a reporter for the The Village Voice and The New York Times, Blum is a contributing editor at Vanity Fair.
