Zigzag : the incredible wartime exploits of double agent Eddie Chapman

Eddie Chapman was handsome, witty and charming and a conman, womaniser and safebreaker. He was also a great hero, the most remarkable double agent of the Second World War. Eddie became the only British national to be awarded an Iron Cross for spying for the Reich. He was also the only German spy ever to be parachuted into Britain TWICE. But Eddie fooled the Germans the same way he conned his victims in civilian life. He was working for the British all along, as Agent Zigzag. The full story of Eddie's extraordinary double life has never been told before, previous attempts to do so were thwarted by the Official Secrets Act. Now all the evidence - including Eddie's MI5 files - has been released, paving the way for Nicholas Booth's enthralling account.
