Agent Zigzag

The true story of a smooth con man who found himself in his true element as an agent during WW2.
Well documented and quite interesting. 3.5 stars.

Another fascinating insight into the spy networks on both sides of WWII. Macintyre brigs Chapman to life: the ruthless, debonair, criminal mastermind Zigzag - never has a codename been so apt.
What makes it such a delightful read, in addition to the deviously incredible exploits, are Macintyres's asides. Little tangents into a fleeting character's life or an offhand quip about a gentleman's moustaches. A particular treat in the paperback edition is the post-publication updates on some of Chapman's associates.
I'd recommend this to anyone who likes to read! As my partner would say - this is definitely not my sort of thing, but I loved it!
