British military intelligence, MI5, called him ZigZag, and he proved to be one of their most valued agents. The Abwehr-German military intelligence-called him Fritzchen and counted him among their most trusted spies. For three years, Eddie Chapman played a dangerous double game to help the Allies win the war. Enlisted by the Abwehr and dropped back into Britain, Chapman had orders to blow up the De Havilland aircraft factory, the source of the Mosquito bombers that were wreaking devastation across Germany. How he and MI5 convinced the Germans that he had accomplished his mission stands as one of history's greatest acts of counterintelligence. T...

But now all the records-including his MI5 file-have been released, paving the way for Booth's definitive, action-packed account. Book jacket.
