One December night in 1942, a Nazi parachutist landed in a Cambridgeshire field. His mission: to sabotage the British war effort.

His name was Eddie Chapman, but he would shortly become MI5's Agent Zigzag. Dashing and suave, courageous and unpredictable, Chapman was by turns a traitor, a hero, a villain and a man of conscience. But, as his spymasters and many lovers often wondered, who was the real Eddie Chapman?

Ben Macintyre weaves together diaries, letters, memories and top-secret MI5 files to create an exhilarating account of Britain's most sensational double agent.©2007 Ben Macintyre Espionage Freedom & Security Historical Military Military & War Politics & Government True Crime World War II Savaş Düşündürücü Heyecan verici Emperyalizm

The more I listened to Ben‘s writings the more I am enthralled by his story telling. This has to be one of the all time espionage of the second world war. Was up there with Agent Sonya, in fact I’d say this is better a total unlikely hero from that time.

What a tail of espionage and counter espionage

I was expecting a story and was initially disappointed that it was more of a biography. However from almost the beginning. I was hooked and I couldn’t stop listening. Firstly, it was brilliantly read obviously by the author which made a big difference. Knowing that this was a true story that could not have been made up was doubly interesting and gripping. The research gone into this brought so much to the book and made it was so good it really kept me interested. I was recommended this by a colleague and very pleased that I got the book and have listened to it. I’ve now recommended it to my father.

Excellently told

Brilliantly narrated by the author, who manages to express the wonder and incredulity of what he is reading as if it were for the first time.

The story is legendary and there are so many ways I wish it had different resolutions for some of the characters.

But that’s the nature of real life. Sometimes the most unjust things happen completely randomly. Life can hang by and be broken like the thinnest thread and at other times survival continues in the most beyond extreme circumstances.

An enduring factor running in these war time scenarios is that regardless of which colour uniform was worn, the characters are so remarkably similar as ‘people’.

It is so sad that we have to create the extreme conditions in war to make heroes of ourselves.

Unbelievable believability!
