The Expendable Spy: A Tale of World War II

Rating:
Summary: Unprofessional spy novel
Review: I cannot believe the author is a professional writer. Trite, oversimplified action, childlike dialog. I seldom don't give up on a book, but did so on this one after 1 - 2 chapters.

Rating:
Summary: A powerfule tale of espionage.
Review: Written by a former member of the Office of Strategic Services during World War II, this is a gripping tale. The plot is suitably complex, with many characters from both the Allied and German sides. The young protagonist has the intelligence and nerve to deal with the many missions he undertakes for the British. The callousness of the intelligence chief who is his superior seems perfectly believable to anyone familiar with such activities.

This book comes up to the highest standards of esionage novelists.
