Iron Spy: The True Story of the Greatest Double Agent in World War II

£11.40

Known as Fritz to his German spy-handlers and Zig-Zag to the British secret service, Eddie Chapman was a man of many faces. While his early life was rife with petty crime, gang activity and a dishonourable discharge from the British military, Chapman’s unique skills were eventually sought out by Nazi Germany, and after convincing them he could use his criminal contacts to sabotage the English forces, he was quickly recruited.

But Chapman’s loyalty to his country knew no limits. A talented, handsome, and reckless Englishman, Chapman was a traitor on the surface but a fearless patriot on the inside. After cracking Germany’s military code, the British sought Chapman for their own affairs, and Chapman was happy to oblige.

Eventually being awarded the prestigious Nazi Iron Cross for services to Germany while acting as a double agent for Britain, Chapman’s espionage efforts involved masterful deceit and feats which few men alive could ever boast of.

Eddie Chapman’s life story is an unbelievable journey of crime, jail-breaks, treachery, and love. He was responsible for saving countless lives during his career, cementing himself as the ultimate double agent during World War II.

    by Paul Anthony

    Bought this for a present very flimsy paperback large print not suitable and very overpriced

    Another true tale of little known ‘derring – do’ by Ethan. A very insightful read of the life of an oft flawed character who demonstrated steely heroism during the Second World War – masterful!

    This is more than the price of a normal paperback, at £11.99, but has about a third of the number of pages and there is a huge gap between the lines on the page. It’s published by Amazon. I was shocked as it’s the second book I’ve bought, published by Amazon, where there is little content and the content is not up to scratch. I’m surprised at them ripping people off like this. Maybe try Waterstones next time…..

    A very informative and interesting read from a hugely talented author who obviously does his research well, and enjoys it. I’m looking forward to reading more from Ethan Quin

    I wish I’d read the reviews. I’m sure it’s an interesting read, but I bought this as a gift expecting a novel. There are only 129 actual story pages with large font. Maybe an hour or two at most to read. I hate to say this, but it is over priced.

    The latest read from Ethan Quinn is a page-turner of an espionage biography.

    The amazing story of Eddie Chapman until now has been a long lost secret within 20th century wartime history.

    A great piece of writing from Ethan Quinn to bring this important piece of history to life.
