'A total thriller with a full cast of killers, swashbucklers and beautiful adventuresses. The best history of war intelligence yet' Simon Sebag Montefiore
'This is his war and he writes with an easy assurance, scatter-gunning opinions ... Hastings is on form. He has set out to provide thought and discussion and, with his familiar robustness, shotgun at side, he has succeeded' The Times
'Authoritative, exciting and notably well written' Daily Telegraph
'A serious work of rigorous and comprehensive history ... royally entertaining and readable' Mail on Sunday
'Vintage Hastings: a vivid cast of characters, social observation and opinions forcefully expressed ... Given the national fixation with spies and special forces, Hastings's book is a very necessary corrective' Evening Standard
'Lively and entertaining ... a rich gallery of rogues, eccentrics and brainstorming professors which ... Hastings can manipulate with wonderful deftness' Observer
'A compendious, crisply argued and witty assessment' Financial Times
'[Hastings] writes with infectious relish ... a magnificent parade of crooks, alcoholics and fantasists ... [he] has drawn fascinating fresh material ... A book that pulses along, yet is filled with acute insight into human ingenuity, frailty, and the ironies of evil' Spectator
'Magisterial ... an author at the top of his game' Country Life
'Hastings deploys a formidable arsenal to tell his human stories, plus a refreshing degree of scepticism' Daily Telegraph
