'A rollicking read for all those who enjoy a spy story so fanciful
that Ian Fleming - himself an officer in Montagu's wartime
department - would never have dared to invent it'
*Max Hastings, Sunday Times*
'Ben Macintyre, also the author of the acclaimed Agent Zigzag, is
fast becoming a one-man industry in these updated tales of cunning,
bravery and skulduggery. With his mix of meticulous research and a
good hack's eye for narrative, it is hard to think of a better
guide to keep beckoning us back to that fascinating world'
*Observer*
'Even more spellbinding than his previous story of wartime
espionage, Agent Zigzag, with a cast-list every bit as dotty and
colourful ... Macintyre is a master of the thumbnail character
sketch'
*Mail on Sunday*
‘Astonishing ... sheds riveting new light on this breathtaking
plan'
*Daily Mail*
