Agent Zigzag: the Story of Eddie Chapman by Ben Macintyre
A brilliant spy story - all the more riveting for being true, well-written, fully documented and illustrated - this book keeps the reader on the edge of his chair from the first page to the last. Chapman - a safe-blower, code name Zigzag - became one of Britain's most colourful and valuable double agents during WW II, out-foxing the Germans right up to the end. He died in 1997 at the ripe old age of 83.
