The best true spy story I have ever read -- John le
Carre
[A] captivating espionage tale. In a feat of real authorial
dexterity, Macintyre accurately portrays the long-game banality of
spycraft-the lead time and persistence in planning-with such
clarity and propulsive verve that the book often feels like a
thriller. Macintyre has produced a timely and insightful
page-turner. * Publishers Weekly *
Meticulously researched, splendidly told, immensely entertaining
and often very moving -- John le Carre on 'Agent Zigzag'
Impeccably researched, superbly told - by far the best book on
the SAS in World War II -- Antony Beevor on 'SAS'
Thrilling. Ben Macintyre is the ideal narrator * Spectator
on 'SAS' *
Thorough and highly entertaining. It would be nigh on
impossible to praise it too highly * Daily Express on 'SAS' *
