West uncovers the complex psychological underpinnings and societal pressures that led these figures to collaborate with the enemy. Her incisive analysis illustrates the profound moral and legal dilemmas inherent in defining and prosecuting such offenses. The book offers a compelling historical account while simultaneously arguing for a deeper understanding of human fallibility in the face of ideological conflict.
