There are better espionage stories out there, but it was an interesting novel about the espionage and counter-espionage efforts of the British and Germans during WWII.....in this tale, the communication of false information in an attempt to deceive the enemy. ( )

This was a good thriller set during World War II. I liked learning along with the characters whom to trust and whom to definitely avoid. ( )

A pretty good spy novel. Focuses on World War II and British secret service agents against the Gestapo and military intelligence. The story was good and built to a satisfactory end, but the context was sketchy I thought, or at least I like to learn more historical stuff when I read these things, not just enjoy a thrilling story. Writing is competent but not Le Carre. The book begins with a quote from Ernest May from his book on the defeat of France to the effect that the Allies were better prepared than the Germans for war in 1939 and should have done better initially. That surprises me. The book is, in part, an answer to why they didn't do better, but without the larger historical context I'd like. Also I think MI-6 was called SIS during the war—a small detail.
