Opis: Agent Zigzag: A True Story of Nazi Espionage, Love, and Betrayal - Ben Macintyre

`Ben Macintyre`s rollicking, spellbinding Agent Zigzag blends the spy-versus-spy machinations of John le Carré with the high farce of Evelyn Waugh.` - William Grimes, The New York Times (Editors` Choice)`Wildly improbable but entirely true . . . [a] compellingly cinematic spy thriller with verve.` - Entertainment WeeklyONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Entertainment WeeklyONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, The Washington PostEddie Chapman was a charming criminal, a con man, and a philanderer. He was also one of the most remarkable double agents Britain has ever produced. In 1941, after training as German spy in occupied France, Chapman was parachuted into Britain with a revolver, a wireless, and a cyanide pill, with orders from the Abwehr to blow up an airplane factory. Instead, he contacted M15, the British Secret service, and for the next four years, Chapman worked as a double agent, a lone British spy at the heart of the German Secret Service. Inside the traitor was a man of loyalty, inside the villain was a hero. The problem for Chapman, his spymasters, and his lovers was to know where one persona ended and the other began. Based on recently declassified files, Agent Zigzag tells Chapman`s full story for the first time. It`s a gripping tale of loyalty, love, treachery, espionage, and the thin and shifting line between fidelity and betrayal.
