"The extraordinary truth about P.G. Wodehouse's broadcasts on Nazi radio." "In 1941, listeners in Britain and the United States were astonished and disgusted to hear the voice of P.G. Wodehouse - probably the greatest humorous writer of English literature - coming to them over the Nazi radio from Berlin. Immediately, Wodehouse was denounced as a traitor. He was accused of having agreed to broadcast Nazi propaganda in order to be let out of one of Hitler's internment camps, where he had been held since being captured by the advancing German Army at Le Touquet in 1940. In the House of Commons, Members of Parliament called for his trial on charges of High Treason. The BBC refused to broadcast any of his work. Public libraries refused to have his books on their shelves. By the general public he was vilified as a second Lord Haw-Haw. In 1944 and 1945, M.I.5 compiled a dossier on Wodehouse's war-time behaviour. But for over 35 years, under successive Conservative and Labour Governments, this dossier was kept secret. The real truth about what Wodehouse did, and why, was never made public. Until now. In 1980, ater years of trying, Iain Sproat, the Member of Parliament for South Aberdeen, persuaded the Home Office to let him see the M.I.5. dossier on Wodehouse - the first person allowed to do so outside official circles. What he read there convinced him that Wodehouse had been the victim of a grave injustice. Starting from the evidence collected by M.I.5., and the secret British Government memorandums of the time, Mr. Sproat built up a mass of contemporary documents, private diaries and letters, tapes, personal recollections from those who had known Wodehouse, and confidential memorandums from the archives of the German Foreign Office and the Gestapo. This book is essential reading for anyone who has ever got pleasure from the works of P.G. Wodehouse. Not only does it prove his innocence after 40 years, but it contains long, hilarious sections of pure, vintage Wodehouse. The full, original text of the five Berlin broadcasts is published here for the first time - and it is among the funniest stuff Wodehouse ever wrote. Iain Sproat is the Member of Parliament for South Aberdeen. He has been an admirer of P.G. Wodehouse's work ever since reading "Mike" at the age of twelve - an admiration that has grown steadily with the years. At Oxford, he was president of the Oxford University P.G. Wodehouse Society. Mr. Sproat was also responsible, by chance, for one of literature's most bizarre - at least, at first sight - discoveries. When visiting the house where Tolstoy lived, Yasnaya Polyana, in Russia, Mr. Sproat noticed that one of the small pile of books on the table by the side of the bed, where the aged Tolstoy had spent his last night in the house, was in English. This book proved to be a bound volume of "The Captain" magazine, where much of Wodehouse's early work was published - a discovery which calls for at least a Ph.D. thesis on the influence of the early Wodehouse on the later Tolstoy. In 1972, Mr. Sproat tried unsuccessfully to persuade the then Prime Minister, Mr. Edward Heath, to recommend Wodehouse for a knighthood. This was refused on the grounds, apparently, of what Wodehouse was supposed to have done during the war; but when Mr. Sproat asked what exactly Wodehouse had done, he was told this could not be revealed. The injustice of this made him determined to get the Home Office file on Wodehouse made public. After years of trying, he succeeded in 1980, and that file forms the basis of this book." - from the inner jacket flaps.
