Based primarily on the diaries by the author’s mother, The Missionary's Wife is the intriguing, disturbing, and as-it-happened story of Jim and Alexis Barclay, who found themselves as citizens of the United States of America living in the neutral country of Venezuela, South America during the most difficult years of World War II. The Barclays had planned a life as missionaries, but the United States government (through President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the United States Office of Strategic Services or OSS, later the CIA), desperately needed American feet on the ground in Venezuela to monitor and fight against the then darkest scourge facing humanity — the Nazis and their accomplices, imperial Japan and fascist Italy. The Axis powers desperately wanted and needed what neutral Venezuela had in abundance — oil, iron ore, and natural rubber — to run their respective war machinery.

What better cover was there for the United States and its Allies from December 1943 through December 1945, than operative spies working as missionaries? And what a potentially corruptive mission for the Barclays — a mission that required lies, cheating, seduction, adultery, killing — and nerves of steel. Alexis Barclay was one of the most qualified and highly effective spies for the United States. She deeply loved and was trusted by both her American husband Jim and the German Nazi Major Jonathan Speer.

Within the Barclays’ story the book highlights attempts by the Nazis to take rubber and oil out of South America, and find safe havens within countries such as Brazil, Argentina, and Venezuela for the European gold and artifacts stolen by the Nazis from Jewish families, Jewish places of worship, its communities and businesses, as well as the recently emptied treasuries of conquered countries such as France, Poland, and Czechoslovakia.

The book offers an emotional and thrilling ride of events for readers, including evidentiary support for alternative locations of tainted Nazi treasures that have so far eluded discovery.

商品の説明

著者について

Jonathan Barclay was born in Portland, Maine, U.S.A. He was adopted at birth, joining his new parents who were living in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Eventually his family also lived in Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela. Jonathan returned to the United States to attend Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois, and then the University of Illinois' John Marshall Law School in Chicago. After graduation from law school, Jonathan worked as an international-law attorney at the prestigious law firm of Baker McKenzie in Chicago. There, he represented Fortune-400 corporate entities doing business in Central and South America, as well as Spain, utilizing his native Portuguese and Spanish language skills. Next, Jon dove into investment banking at A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. and rose to the position of Member of the Board of Directors and head of the national public investment banking division. In this position, Jon completed approximately $US20 billion of municipal-bond transactions. Finally, Jon returned to the legal profession as a United States securities and municipal-bond attorney and continues to practice law today. Jonathan is deeply proud of his parents' work in South America and around the world, from 1943 to their retirement in 1976. The story of The Missionary's Wife is based on just a small part of what ended up being Jim and Alexis Barkley's overall significant contribution to the security, education, and betterment of the world and its inhabitants.

    Fascinating twist on a spy story, with a focus on clandestine relationships and secret operations. Little said about missionary cover, though it plays a minor role. Also poses intriguing theories about how rubber was used to thwart sonar, and possible locations of Nazi stolen art.

    5つ星のうち5.0 A unique twist on WWII spies

    We have all seen and read many stories about spies during WWII. But this one is fascinating as it is in Venezuela, not Europe. This part of the world’s importance during the war was so interesting to read about. And the “cover” as missionary was brilliant and intriguing to read.

    This book was riveting. I read it in a couple days. It deals with personal and ethical challenges of people who were called to serve God and their country.
