Description
Exiled Emissary is a biography of the colorful life of George H. Earle, III – a Main Line Philadelphia millionaire, war hero awarded the Navy Cross, Pennsylvania governor, Ambassador to Austria and Bulgaria, friend and supporter of Franklin Roosevelt, humanitarian, playboy, and spy. Rich in Casablanca-style espionage and intrigue, Farrell’s deeply personal study presents FDR and his White House in a new light, especially when they learned in 1943 that high-ranking German officials approached Earle in Istanbul to convey their plot to kidnap Hitler and seek an armistice. When FDR rejected their offer, thereby prolonging World War II, his close relationship with Earle became inconvenient, resulting in Earle’s exile to an administrative post in American Samoa. Earle eventually returned to the United States, renewing his warnings about communism to President Truman, who underestimated the threat as a “bugaboo.” Now, over four decades following Earle’s death, Farrell has uncovered newly declassified records that give voice to his warnings about a threat we now know should never have been dismissed.

Reviews
“It took a former professional US intelligence officer, Christopher Farrell, to winkle out the obscure and connective threads of the intelligence games, subversion, arcane diplomacy, and lost opportunities that earle both witnessed and partook thereof during WWII, and in the controversies of the post-war period... Farrell’s broad-ranging narrative lays this all out in compelling detail.”
- Jack Dziak, Ph.D.
“Among the richest veins of barely mined World War II research are the daring, clandestine negotiations between George Earle and anti-Nazi, anti-Communist Germans, which might well have ended the European war as early as 1943, saving millions of lives and preventing the Soviet occupation of half of Europe. Thanks to Chris Farrell, George Earle, unsung American patriot and truth-teller, is finally getting the kind of serious consideration he deserves.”
- Diana West
“Exiled Emissary combines biography and diplomatic and intelligence history to reconstruct the distinguished, but underappreciated, career of George Earle III, a dedicated and perspicacious American government official. In this carefully researched book, the author, a former U.S. Army counterintelligence officer, investigates and illuminates perhaps the darkest corner of President Franklin Roosevelt’s wartime administration: his ignorant and untutored policy toward the Soviet Union, as reflected in his dismissal of Earle’s evidence on Soviet responsibility for the 1940 Katyn Forest massacre, and the behind-the-scenes influence of his pro-Soviet special assistant, Harry Lloyd Hopkins.”
- Professor David Thomas
