Books by J C Masterman

The Double-Cross System
During WW II, Masterman was responsible for 'turning' foreign spies and putting them to work for the Allies. This is his account of how it was done, full of case histories, near disasters, successes, statistics. The subject matter is fascinating but, oh dear, Masterman's plodding approach is almost narcotically boring. I kept having to pinch myself to stay awake. A real pity, but interesting if you can keep at it.
