About this book

The sequel to Nazi Secret Warfare , which portrayed the catastrophic failure of Germany's clandestine services in Persia (Iran) during the Second World War. By contrast but based on equally solid archival evidence, this companion volume tells the other side of the same fascinating story, introducing us to spies, spycatchers, and spymasters.

Reviews

   

"Eminently readable. Adrian O'Sullivan is an excellent writer, whose lively and elegant style succeeds in capturing the narrative and the ironies of its twists and turns in a way that is highly entertaining without 'dumbing down'." - Tilman Dedering, University of South Africa
