Double Cross is the story of how the British turned, relied on and managed German double agents through World War Two.
Not spoiling anything when I say that reading about one person running a fictitious group of spies across the UK from a flat in London, feeding thousands of pages of fake intelligence to the Germans amazes me. The creativity and mental capacity to stay on top of all those lies is astounding.
Oh and Expeditionary Force for some fun, slightly thought provoking space opera sci fi, first book is on Audible Plus so you can get into it without using a credit.
I think I’ll add that to my list! I am currently reading (well, I ended up trying out Audible so listening now) to The Splendid and the Vile which is another WW2 book that’s quite fascinating.
Thanks for the suggestion, I went on a bit of a WW2 binge recently and went through:
The Second World Way by Anthony Beevor (it's a tough but very interesting listen)
SAS: Rogue Heroes by Ben Macintyre (very enjoyable, assume slightly exaggerated)
as well as Double Cross
