Thanks Andy. It did turn into a more complicated process that it needed to be but got there in the end!
Just bought "Whispers of War" to read on the train. Looks really good on the iPad. I Recommend using "Flowing text" on Android phones.
Thanks CMP. Let me know what you think of the book when you have a chance to read it. There are some really interesting rumours in there which deserve further research. Others are rather amusing as well.
OK another problem has been brought to my notice. The eBooks are not available in Australia or Canada yet. When Google gave me the option of activating sales in those two countries, I naively concluded that Google actually sells eBooks there. Apparently not, well just not yet. Hopefully they will be available in a few weeks time. But who knows, Google isn't telling any one!
Slashed the prices on all my eBooks available through Google Play Store. The Black Art now 2.99 All others 1.99 Lee
Re. the "Political Warfare Executive" - BBC World Service audio - from Wed 6 Nov 2019 BBC World Service - Witness History, Britain's secret propaganda war Britain's secret propaganda war Witness History How sex, jazz and 'fake news' were used to undermine the Nazis in World War Two. In 1941, the UK created a top secret propaganda department, the Political Warfare Executive to wage psychological warfare on the German war machine. It was responsible for spreading rumours, generating fake news, leaflet drops and creating fake clandestine German radio stations to spread misinformation and erode enemy morale. We hear archive recordings of those involved and speak to professor Jo Fox of the Institute of Historical Research about the secret history of British "black propaganda".
