Recenzii

This is the most amazing book, full of fascinating and hair-raising true life adventures ... It would be impossible to recommend it too highly
A fascinating biography of this most astonishing and insouciant of double agents ... incredible
Superb. Meticulously researched, splendidly told, immensely entertaining and often very moving
Macintyre never misses a delightful, haunting or terrifying detail ... Buy it for dads everywhere but read it too
Never short on thrills
A cracker of a Second World War double-agent yarn
The story of Eddie Chapman is different. In fiction it would be rejected as improbable
Chapman makes you think inescapably of a certain 007
As engrossing as any thriller
If you're looking for a good spy thriller, I definitely recommend this
