A new book uncovers a startling family history of espionage. Author Christine Kuehn discovered her own grandfather was a Nazi agent operating in the United States before World War II.
Kuehn's research revealed her grandfather, Otto, spied for the Axis powers. He passed sensitive U.S. military information to Germany and Japan in the months before the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.
Kuehn’s father had concealed this secret for decades. The author details her investigation and its personal impact in her upcoming book, "Family of Spies."
