His latest book, War of Shadows , began with a conversation in Jerusalem that set off years of searching through archives for long-Secret documents, though attics for lost papers, through streets in Cairo, Rome, London--endless days and nights of seeing facts unravel and new ones take shape in place of them, of following one lead to another to find someone who remembered the mysterious woman at Bletchley Park who discovered Rommel\'s source in British headquarters in Cairo--an obsessive hunt that led to the real story of how the Nazis came within an inch of conquering the Middle East.
