520    The first book about Albatross Press, a Penguin precursor 
       that entered into an uneasy relationship with the Nazi 
       regime to keep Anglo-American literature alive under 
       fascism. The Albatross Press was, from its beginnings in 
       1932, a "strange bird": a cultural outsider to the Third 
       Reich but an economic insider. It was funded by British-
       Jewish interests. Its director was rumored to work for 
       British intelligence. A precursor to Penguin, it 
       distributed both middlebrow fiction and works by edgier 
       modernist authors such as D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, 
       James Joyce, and Ernest Hemingway to eager continental 
       readers. Yet Albatross printed and sold its paperbacks in 
       English from the heart of Hitler's Reich. In her original 
       and skillfully researched history, Michele K. Troy reveals
       how the Nazi regime tolerated Albatross-for both economic 
       and propaganda gains-and how Albatross exploited its 
       insider position to keep Anglo-American books alive under 
       fascism. In so doing, Troy exposes the contradictions in 
       Nazi censorship while offering an engaging detective story,
       a history, a nuanced analysis of men and motives, and a 
       cautionary tale.
