the internet is reading my mind

Well, just to illustrate my point about coincidences - no sooner have I put a book post up which references my earlier book post reviewing William Boyd's Restless, than I see the latest Strange Map, which is a map of South America as envisaged under Nazi rule. Or at least that's what the Americans were meant to think it was; it was actually all a fiendish British Intelligence ruse to persuade the USA to join the war.

The coincidental bit is that the incident described in the text is described almost identically in Restless, in fact in the fictionalised account in the novel it was Eva, the main protagonist, who was responsible for the map being found in the way it was.

Spooky.
