Literary concepts site Rorotoko published a post this week featuring an in-depth interview with Judith Keene, author of Treason on the Airwaves: Three Allied Broadcasters on Axis Radio During World War Two (published by the University of Nebraska Press):

"Traitors in wartime have a long history. During World War Two, both Allied and Axis governments used enemy nationals to broadcast propaganda. When the war ended, the victors prosecuted a number of their own citizens for treason.

"My book tracks the vivid experiences of three individuals who broadcast on Axis radio and later were tried as traitors. Although the treason laws in Britain, Australia and the United States were much the same, and the behavior of the three appeared similar, the outcome of their trials was determined by a conjunction of popular emotion and post war politics."
