Agent Zigzag & Operation Mincemeat

Description

Two rollocking Second World War tales in one volume by Ben Macintyre. Agent Zigzag is the story of Eddie Chapman, daring criminal turned secret agent, then recruited by the Nazis as a double agent to sabotage the British war effort from within. The second is the well known Operation Mincemeat, made into a mediocre film in 2021 and much more fascinating as a true story. A corpse was deposited on the shore in southern Spain in 1943, filled with letters and papers designed to fool the Nazis about Allied plans for an invasion. This was the most extraordinary and successful deception by Churchill’s secret agents, in which Ian Fleming played a small part during his years in British intelligence. This is the first edition in very good condition.
