The definitive biography of an enduringly fascinating figure, told with panache and full of new material unavailable to any previous biographers
Russell Miller is a prize-winning journalist and the author of eight previous books. His history of the Magnum photo agency was described by John Simpson as 'the best book on photo-journalism I have ever read', and his oral histories of D-Day, Nothing Less Than Victory, and the Special Operations Executive, Behind The Lines, were widely acclaimed. His most recent book was Codename Tricycle- the true story of the Second World War's most extraordinary double agent.
