Fresh,absorbing page-turner: Nerves of steel, pinch of Sargeant Schultz

The book is a great read and that's hard to find. The big thing about Eddie Chapman's story is it shows one of the millions or billions of instances in which a potentially solid fate sours when confronted with downturns, constrained opportunity, hormones, etc. Today,
such a de-railed character ends up with our growing population behind walls and barbed wire at Marion, Sing-Sing, or Leavenworth. Chapman's cleverness and sheer luck of circumstance let him turn his lemon of a livelihood into lemonade (a kind of career-skill, eh?). The portrayal of his Nazi handlers and their treatment of him has a twinge of Hogan's Heroes. Pick up the book. I am anxious read further to get others' take on the Eddie Chapman story....

Incredible biography!

A fascinating read that had me turning pages deep into the night. And, the most amazing thing is that it's a true story! Good reading for anyone with a Walter Mitty complex or who just enjoys a good yarn.

Being easy to read is not a knock in war stories like this.

I just wanted to say that I read this after trying to read "Agent Zigzag" and finding it rather impenetrable, for what it's worth, this one seemed much better written.

It's funny, too.

Informative and addicting

This biography was entertaining and informative.

Anyone desiring to know more about the secret war of deception waged against Nazi Germany will find this book worthy of their time.

Eddie's his good luck, audacity, and courage will also appeal to readers whose primary interest is in just learning more about this guy.
