Synopsis
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.

Soft Cover. Condition: Fine. First Edition. Second printing. Original British edition. Slight shelf wear. Pages fine. Several photo plate sections. 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, inside the traitor was a hero, inside the villain, a man of conscience: the problem for Chapman, his many lovers and his spymasters, was knowing where one ended and the other began. Charming criminal, con man, and philanderer. And one of the most remarkable double agents Britain has ever produced. "Agent Zigzag" offers a unique glimpse into the psychology of espionage, with its thin and shifting line between fidelity and betrayal. 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. Thrilling real-life story of a double agent in the Second World War. "The story of Eddie Chapman is diifferent. In fiction it would be rejected as improbable" - MI5. "Superb. Meticulously researched, splendidly told, immensely entertaining and often very moving." - John le Carre. 372 pages. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book. Seller Inventory # 011623
