Tina and Hillary cover Operation Underworld and former US Senator from Utah Arthur Brown.
Tina’s Story
After Japan’s surprise attack on a US naval base, the US officially entered World War 2, BUT when they wanted to counter Axis spies, avoid the capture of war supply ships, and more, the Navy made a secret pact with an unlikely ally.
Hillary’s Story
Arthur Bradley worked his way up through the Republican party of Utah and became one of the state’s first governors. BUT, his appetite for younger women landed in jail for adultery and ultimately led to deadly confrontation.
