A shocking modern-day letter. A family’s darkest secret. The terrifying true story of the Nazi spies who helped plan the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

For decades, journalist Christine Kuehn believed her family’s history was completely ordinary. That all shatters when a letter arrives from a screenwriter asking about her family’s involvement as World War II spies. When Christine confronts her seventy-year-old father, Eberhard, he breaks down in tears. He always knew this day of reckoning would come.

In the 1930s, the Kuehns were a prominent Berlin family facing financial ruin—until they hitched their wagon to the rising Nazi party. After the daughter, Ruth, had a torrid affair with propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, a dangerous secret came to light: Ruth was half-Jewish.

Instead of executing them, Goebbels offered the family a chilling alternative: exile to Hawaii to work as deep-cover operatives. Living just a few miles from the U.S. naval base under the tropical sun, the family built an intricate espionage ring—passing vital naval intelligence to the Japanese military that paved the way for the devastating attack on December 7, 1941.
