Agent Zigzag: A True Story of Nazi Espionage, Love, and Betrayal by Ben Macintyre
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

An entertaining read! The book belongs to the non-fiction genre as the story told in Agent Zigzag actually happened in real life. This story could not be told in a work of fiction: no one would publish something so incredible!

Agent Zigzag: A True Story of Nazi Espionage, Love, and Betrayal tells the story of Eddie Chapman, a master con man and a criminal, who served time in prison, and who became one of the most successful agents of British intelligence. The story of a man, who was simultaneously a traitor and a hero, a German agent, a double British agent, and an unreformed thief. The only British person who had ever received the German Iron Cross for outstanding service to the Reich, but who was also highly regarded by the British intelligence community for his extraordinary service to the United Kingdom.
