Double Cross is occasionally poignant-- it is, after all, about WWII-- and often incredible, but above all, it is hands-down funny. My favourite quote: One evening, in his safe house in Hinxton, near Cambridge, Caroli crept up behind his minder while he was playing solitaire and tried to throttle him with a piece of rope. When this failed, he apologized, tied the man to a chair, and ran off with a can of sardines, a pineapple, and a large canvas shoe. He then stole a motorcycle and motored, very slowly, toward the coast with the canoe balanced on his head. He intended to paddle to Holland. A roadman reported to police that a man with a canoe had fallen off his motorcycle on Pamisford road, and he had helped the man throw the canoe over a hedge.' Robertson believed that turning German spies would have numerous benefits, disclosing what information Abwehr wanted and to mislead them as part of a military deception. It would also discourage them from sending more agents, if they believed an operational network existed. Section B1A (a subordinate of B section, under Guy Liddell) was formed and Robertson was put in charge of handling the double-agent program. [8] Some may say that this book is just one of many conspiracy theories written about JFK and RFK assassinations.Double Cross is the 13th novel in the Alex Cross series featuring Detective Alex Cross by James Patterson. It was released on November 13, 2007. a b Witt, Carolinda (November 2017). Double Agent Celery. Barnsley, UK: Pen & Sword Books. ISBN 9781526716149. pp. 181-186

Double Cross: The True Story of the D-Day Spies - Goodreads

A few months ago, I decided to accept my pandemic attention span as it is, and not feel guilty about what I choose to read--embarking on a schedule of, mostly, rereading. Double Cross was a new book but it's by a familiar author on a familiar theme so it worked out anyway. Maggs, Sam (2016). Wonder Women: 25 Innovators, Inventors, and Trailblazers Who Changed History. Quirk Books. p.112. ISBN 9781594749254. Finally, in telling the stories of the agents he really does look at their motivations. The men and women's reasons ran the gamut - from patriotism, one was a Polish Fighter pilot who despised the Germans, to greed, a couple of them were looking for someone to bankroll their lifestyles, to boredom with life and the thought that spying would be “exciting”. The author includes an epilogue that tells what happened to the main characters after the war that I found extremely interesting.The only reason that these assassinations were never officially solved ( if you don't believe in the lone wolf theory ) is that the American government will never admit that it had collaborated with the mob. It is also a fact that the Kennedy fortune came from bootlegging and that Joe Kennedy was not only a criminal but also a Nazi sympathizer, as confirmed during his Ambassadorship to London between 1938 and 1940 and his friendship with Nancy Astor and Oswald Mosley, both staunch antisemites. The Double Cross spies were, variously, courageous, treacherous, capricious, greedy, and inspired. They were not obvious heroes, and their organization was betrayed from within by a Soviet spy. One was so obsessed with her pet dog that she came close to derailing the entire invasion. All were, to some extent, fantasists, for that is the very essence of espionage. Two were of dubious moral character.One was a triple, and possibly a quadruple, agent." Posing as German spies they were handsomely paid by the Nazis, while working for the Allies. The money supplied by the Germans (about 4.3 million pounds in todays currency) supported the German mission, while also covering the costs for Allies. Macintyre, Ben (27 Mar 2012).
