More exciting than fiction: readers will find the book hard to put down. Highly recommended."---Library Journal<BR><BR>"Even fictional spy masters James Bond and Jason Bourne would be hard-pressed to match the real-life adventures of Thomas Sneum. ...a treat for fans of wild WWII yarns."---Publishers Weekly<BR><BR>"A ripping real-life yarn of espionage and daring."---Kirkus Reviews<BR><BR>Assassination by crossbow, refueling homemade planes in midair, mother and daughter seduction---Allied spy Tommy Sneum did it all during World War II. But until now, the full extraordinary story of Sneum's action-packed career as a British-run spy has never been told, including his incredible escape from Denmark in a battered biplane, which he refueled in mid-air by climbing out on the wing. Sneum also obtained intelligence about the Nazi radar installations, weapons, and their atomic program. His reward was to be imprisoned by the British as a suspected double agent and threatened with execution. It's only with the publication of this book that Sneum---recipient of the prestigious King's Medal for Courage from the British government---can be celebrated as, in the words of Professor R.V. Jones, Churchill's chief of scientific intelligence, "one of the true heroes of World War II."
