Original, thought-provoking and exceedingly well written ... I have not read such a convincing portrayal of the German intelligence war in Holland, the author is to be congratulated. He makes a convincing case for Blunt's involvement ... This book is a positive and original contribution to what over the years has become quite an emotive debate ... A worthwhile read. * Robert Kershaw, author of It Never Snows in September * This history book serves as a powerful and timely reminder of how the failure to tackle Joseph Stalin's threat to the West at the end of World War 2 has forced the free world to face up to the aggression of Vladamir Putin today. * Bill Browder, author of Red Notice and Freezing Order * The strongest point of the book is the story about 'Josephine'. We will probably never be sure who 'Josephine' was, if it even was a person, but... Robert proves the case as far as circumstantial evidence allows one. * Bob de Graaff, Holland's foremost expert on intelligence and the official historian of the Dutch intelligence services * Excellent ... a remarkable answer through considerable research to the vexed question: why were the Nazis unexpectedly lying in wait? * The Jewish Chronicle * A bombshell book. * Daily Mail * Sensational. * Daily Express * Breathtaking. * Sunday Post * Vivid and arresting ... Building a convincing case for the identity of the agents who ensured the frustration of the Allied military operation at Arnhem, Robert Verkaik has delivered a well-researched and intriguing book. * Lord Browne & Russell Clarke, PoliticsHome * Robert Verkaik's best book yet, a testament to his investigative skills, journalistic nous for a compelling story, and impressive understanding of the spy world. He has uncovered an espionage scoop that for decades was totally missed by other historians. * Richard Kerbaj, author of Five Eyes *
