Review Quote

“. . . reads like a classic spy novel. . . . With this excellent history of personalities and politics during World War II, Conant adds successfully to her previous books that have made vivid the war's background players. Highly recommended.”
—Library Journal

“'A thoroughly engrossing story, one Conant tells exceptionally well.” [starred review]
—Publishers Weekly

“A fascinating look into the unpredictable intersections of experience, ambition and friendships that can form the beginnings of an artist . . .”
—Oregonian

The Irregulars is a thoroughly enjoyable book . . . Especially enjoyable is the unabridged audiobook of this title, read with full British aplomb and period flavor by Simon Prebble.”
—St. Petersburg Times

“Jennet Conant's wonderfully rendered history of British spy jinks in Washington during World War II.”
—Dallas Morning News

“As enjoyable as Conant's history of British spy jinks in wartime Washington is on the page, its pleasures are enhanced by Simon Prebble's vintage British inflections.” [Highly recommended]
