'Superb. Meticulously researched,splendidly told,immensely entertaining and often very moving'- John le Carre
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.
