Agent Zigzag by Ben MacIntyre

This is the exciting story of Britain’s most sensational double agent, British Eddie Chapman, also known as Agent Zigzag. In 1942 a Nazi parachutist landed in a field in Cambridgeshire on a December night. His mission was to sabotage the British war effort, however he would soon become MI5’s Agent Zigzag and used to feed misinformation to the Germans. Ben Macintyre uses diaries, letters, photographs, and MI5 files to produce this account of the dashing, courageous and unpredictable spy.
