Short biography
The Vienna native grew up in Berlin and became an anti-Nazi activist and underground publisher in Germany in 1933. He eventually fled to Stockholm where he founded a pro-Allies newspaper and a committee to free Nobel Peace Prize winner Carl von Ossietzky from a concentration camp.

He later became a spy and provided the Allies with information about Russian and Nazi activities, the Times said.

Singer left Sweden for the United States after it banned his biography of Hitler henchman Hermann Goering -- "Goering: Germany's Most Dangerous Man" -- in 1940. His next book was 1943's "Duel for the Northland: The War of Enemy Agents in Scandinavia."

The prolific author wrote many books about spies and crime and penned a variety of biographies ranging from actor Danny Kaye to President Lyndon B. Johnson, as well as children's books.

He founded the news service Singer Communications Inc. in Anaheim, Calif., in 1955 and served as its president.

Author Disambiguation

How many authors?

Kurt Singer is currently considered a "single author." If one or more works are by a distinct, homonymous authors, go ahead and split the author.

This entry includes…

Combine with…

What?

Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary?

A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly.

Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above?

A: Yes you can.

Q: I know an author is separate, but mischievous gremlins keep combining them. Can I take a name off the combination list?

A: Yes you can.

Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not.

Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author?

A: No authors.

Q: I am the gremlin and I'm right!

A: Take it to the Combiners group.
