Agent Zigzag and Operation Mincemeat, two thrilling accounts of World
War II espionage, are available together as an ebook—with an
excerpt from the New York Times bestseller Double Cross. “Not
since Ian Fleming and John le Carré has a spy writer so captivated
readers.”—The Hollywood Reporter AGENT ZIGZAG • “Wildly
improbably but entirely true . . . [a] compellingly cinematic spy
thriller with verve.”—Entertainment Weekly Eddie Chapman was a
charming criminal, a con man, and a philanderer. He was also one of
the most remarkable double agents Britain has ever produced. Inside
the traitor was a man of loyalty; inside the villain was a hero. The
problem for Chapman, his spymasters, and his lovers was to know where
one persona ended and the other began. Based on recently declassified
files, Agent Zigzag tells Chapman’s full story for the first time.
It’s a gripping tale of loyalty, love, treachery, espionage, and the
thin and shifting line between fidelity and betrayal. OPERATION
MINCEMEANT • “Brilliant and almost absurdly entertaining.”—The
New Yorker Near the end of World War II, two British naval officers
came up with a brilliant and slightly mad scheme to mislead the Nazi
armies about where the Allies would attack southern Europe. To carry
out the plan, they would have to rely on the most unlikely of secret
agents: a dead man. Ben Macintyre’s dazzling, critically acclaimed
bestseller chronicles the extraordinary story of what happened after
British officials planted this dead body—outfitted in a British
military uniform with a briefcase containing false intelligence
documents—in Nazi territory, and how this secret mission fooled
Hitler into changing military positioning, paving the way for the
Allies to overtake the Nazis.
