A Spy Tale, Fully Revealed in "Zig Zag"

highhopes

Some of you may be familiar with the film, Triple Cross with Christopher Plummer, that told the story of one of the most spectacular spies of World War II, Eddie Chapman, a safecracker, womanizer, criminal, con man who won the Iron Cross from the Nazis while working for his native England. There is a new biography called Zig Zag that makes use of newly declassifed files. Haven't read it, but it's definitely on my list. Some of you would get a kick out of it, I'm sure. Here's a link to a National Public Radio audio interview with the author. Some of his exploits rival Bond's.
