Agent Zigzag Summary

Agent Zigzag: The True Wartime Story of Eddie Chapman: Lover, Traitor, Hero, Spy by Ben Macintyre

SHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA BIOGRAPHY AWARD 'Engrossing as any thriller' Daily Telegraph 'Superb. Meticulously researched, splendidly told, immensely entertaining' John le Carre 'This is the most amazing book, full of fascinating and hair-raising true life adventures . . . It would be impossible to recommend it too highly' Mail on Sunday _______ 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 suave, courageous and unpredictable, Chapman was by turns a traitor, a hero, a villain and a man of conscience. But, as his spymasters and many lovers often wondered, who was the real Eddie Chapman? Ben Macintyre weaves together diaries, letters, photographs, memories and top-secret MI5 files to create an exhilarating account of Britain's most sensational double agent.

Agent Zigzag Reviews

This is the most amazing book, full of fascinating and hair-raising true life adventures ... It would be impossible to recommend it too highly * Mail on Sunday *
A fascinating biography of this most astonishing and insouciant of double agents ... incredible * Sunday Telegraph *
Superb. Meticulously researched, splendidly told, immensely entertaining and often very moving * John Le Carre *
Macintyre never misses a delightful, haunting or terrifying detail ... Buy it for dads everywhere but read it too * Observer *
Never short on thrills * Independent on Sunday *
A cracker of a Second World War double-agent yarn * The Times *
The story of Eddie Chapman is different. In fiction it would be rejected as improbable -- MI5
