Another fascinating insight into the spy networks on both sides of WWII. Macintyre brigs Chapman to life: the ruthless, debonair, criminal mastermind Zigzag - never has a codename been so apt.
What makes it such a delightful read, in addition to the deviously incredible exploits, are Macintyres's asides. Little tangents into a fleeting character's life or an offhand quip about a gentleman's moustaches. A particular treat in the paperback edition is the post-publication updates on some of Chapman's associates.
I'd recommend this to anyone who likes to read! As my partner would say - this is definitely not my sort of thing, but I loved it!
