Summary of Ashley Rindsberg's The Gray Lady Winked

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The New York Times made the worst prediction in the history of modern journalism when they reported that Hitler would retire to private life and return to Austria. He went on to construct one of the darkest regimes, and he was the last person a reader of the Times should think was no longer to be feared.

#2 On August 31, 1939, Hitler launched one of the most flagrant scams in the history of the modern world. He and a group of Gestapo propagandists and henchmen invented a story that neighboring Poland had attacked Germany, and the Second World War began.

#3 The New York Times was also guilty of reporting on the events in Gleiwitz as if they were true, when they very well knew they were not. When the Times reported on the details of the supposed Polish attack, they left out one critical fact: the semi-official news agency cited as the article’s main source was one of the Nazis’ central propaganda organs.

#4 The Times printed the claim that the incident at the Gleiwitz radio station was the signal for a general attack by Poland, which was taken directly from the Nazi Party newspaper Volkischer Beobachter. But the Times article failed to mention that its single source was the official newspaper of the NSDAP.
