I have deep experience hunting late toms, but i’ve also had the opportunity to interview excellent turkey hunters from around the country.  There’s a playbook for…

Set just before the United States enters World War II, the book follows the adventures of a plucky group of Treasury Department employees unofficially working to undermine the German economy while officially maintaining the US position of neutrality.
