In 1942 Dahl took up his post at the British Embassy in Washington, his assignment was to use his good looks and charm to gain access to the most powerful figures in American political life. He and his colourful conspirators - David Ogilvy, Ian Flemming, and Ivar Bryce- gossiped, bugged and often hilariously bungled their way across Washington, doing their best to carry out their cloak-and-dagger assignments to support the fledgling American intelligence agency, and to see Roosevelt was elected to an unprecedented fourth term.
