Stephen Fox’s INFAMY! cleverly mixes fact and fiction, the personal, the national and the international, to bring us the inside story of the days leading up to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. We are introduced to the Steiners, a real life ex-pat German family living in Honolulu, a family with the familiar stresses and foibles common to family life. And we meet the real life FBI agents, who are seemingly always hungry and smoking too much as they sit in their cars, spying on them. What are the Steiners up to? They visit the Japanese Consulate; their nine year-old son takes the long way to school and uses a telescope to study the harbor. They always need money. Meanwhile, one of the married agents begins a passionate love affair with a beautiful young woman who unbeknownst to him is the Steiners’ daughter. Dispatches fly between the FBI’s Honolulu office and J. Edgar Hoover. Why does Hoover insist that the Steiners not be taken in for questioning? We know, of course, what happened at Pearl Harbor. What we don’t know is what role if any the Steiners played, or what happened to them and the agents who were on their case in the days and years following the attack. In INFAMY! Fox gives us the fascinating details

I'm not sure what book Michael W. read, but it surely wasn't this one. I found the story engaging and well told, a page-turner. It's a story, fictionalized, of course, that few people know.

Maybe Michael didn't get the irony (the story is loaded with it) or the historical `what ifs,' which are always fascinating. History abounds with alternatives.

The author offers logical and reasonable suppositions about his characters' choices. Was there ever a less likely spy than Rolf Steiner?

Above all, what are we to make of the FBI's ineptitude and Franklin Roosevelt's duplicity? The author challenges us to consider that 'the 'infamous' were legion that Fall (1941).' I found it fascinating to create my list of possibilities. Fox is correct; they were 'legion.'
