Interview Glenn Dyer on his new novel

What is your book The Torch Betrayal about?

A few years ago I read about a fascinating historical event in Capt. Harry C. Butcher's book My Three Years with Eisenhower (1946). Somehow, in 1942, a page went missing from Eisenhower's personal war-time diary. That page contained vital details about the impending Allied invasion of North Africa. Butcher never mentioned that the page was recovered. Reading about it I started thinking: What if that page had fallen into the wrong hands? Who actually took it? What was really at stake??

I've been a student of WWII history and a big fan of historical fiction in general for as long as I can remember so I decided I'd try my hand at crafting a thriller by playing out my answers to these questions.
