    100 pages in. Noticed a few spelling mistakes. It surprisingly not well written considering its a journalist that wrote it

    Not that great a read

    Spelling mistakes galore. A few general mistakes and an annoying habit to quote in makey uppy spellings of dialects

    Been reading a lot of WW2 books recently. My favourites are:

    Operation Mincemeat - Ben McIntyre - the greatest and strangest hoax of WW2.
    Agent Zigzag - Ben McIntyre - true story of spy Eddie Chapman
    Double Cross - Ben McIntyre - true story of the DDay spies
    Garbo, The Spy With 29 Names - Jason Webster - great story of the spy who played key part in the Normandy landings deception

    Mondo, that's the one. The idea and how the story develops is a great yarn and if it was fiction, you'd probably say "good story, but could never happen in real life", but it did.

    The whole Garbo story and how that develops culminating in the deception over the Normandy landings is brilliant. As above, truth is stranger than fiction.
