Agent Zigzag: The True Wartime Story of Eddie Chapman: Lover, Traitor, Hero, Spy (reissued)
Autor Ben Macintyreen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 aug 2010
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
louche,
courageous
and
unpredictable,
the
traitor
was
a
patriot
inside,
and
the
villain
a
hero.
The
problem
for
Chapman,
his
many
lovers
and
his
spymasters
was
knowing
who
he
was.
Ben
Macintyre
weaves
together
diaries,
letters,
photographs,
memories
and
top-secret
MI5
files
to
create
the
exhilarating
account
of
Britain's
most
sensational
double
agent.
