Ilustration In Favor Of Books The Unlikely Spy

"In wartime," Winston Churchill wrote, "truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies."

For Britain's counterintelligence operations, this meant finding the unlikeliest agent imaginable-a history professor named Alfred Vicary, handpicked by Churchill himself to expose a highly dangerous, but unknown, traitor.

The Nazis, however, have also chosen an unlikely agent: Catherine Blake, a beautiful widow of a war hero, a hospital volunteer - and a Nazi spy under direct orders from Hitler to uncover the Allied plans for D-Day...

Weigh Up Out Of Books The Unlikely Spy

Spy novels are not books that I usually read, but this one is engaging and I enjoyed it. It really is a historical novel, I guess, because the facts about WWII on which the book is based are true. It certainly is more interesting learning about WWII by reading this novel than a history book! The story line was based on the preparations for D-Day and the building of an artificial harbor from concrete that was floated across the English Channel so when they landed at Normandy, they would have a

When I started this book, I was hoping for a small break from some of the non-fiction I had been reading. I was looking for a thriller in the same vein as Robert Ludlum or David Baldacci. Instead, I got a history-heavy suspense novel and I didnt mind one bit.The authors challenge in this book was trying to maintain a level of tension to hold the readers interest, even though the ultimate outcome of the story was well known (the Germans were unprepared for the Allied invasion at Normandy; if

Well written and researched. The chapters were short and interesting. So, it was easy to read. The characters were developed well enough to identify and empathize with. I learned a few lessons. It's very hard to quash our humanity even when it's detrimental to the mission. Both German agents died because of mistakes made due to their feelings and sentiments. This was in contrast to Vicary who didn't allow that to get in his way because of a greater mission. Therefore, he orders every one on the

Quite simply this is as good a spy novel as I have ever read, including Le Carre. Silva's characters and plot are complex and sometimes confusing, but that's the point of espionage and counter-espionage, and ultimately all becomes clear. In addition, the action scenes are superb, often sustained over many pages.The story covers one major aspect of the deception surrounding which beaches the Allies would land on at D-Day in 1944. The stakes could not be higher, and even though we know how it

I liked many aspects of this book. I really enjoyed the descriptions of life in England during WWII - rendered with vivid detail. Learning about spy craft during that era was also very interesting. I had vaguely remembered that the Allies had tricked the Germans into thinking that the invasion was going to take place at Calais. So learning many of the details of the planning made the book particularly engaging. I was going to give the book 4 stars until things began to unravel for me in the end.

I've read and enjoyed a few of Silva's books before, but they have all starred his Mossad agent/art restorer, Gabriel Allon. This book is not part of the Allon series, but nonetheless a well-written historical thriller about all the information and disinformation leading up to the Normandy landings. We listened to it in the car on 15 disks!The Unlikely Spy is a spy novel written by Daniel Silva, set during World War II, and published in 1996. While some of the exact characters and events may be

I'm going to give this 5 stars with reservations. It is certainly a book that anyone who is a spy/espionage enthusiast should have read, or at least have on their to-read list. It is a masterful work of historical fiction. It shows a great deal of research and actual historical detail. That being said, it is a very long book...at least by my standards. At times it tends to get bogged down in detail and side-story. One of its greatest strengths is its detail in creating characters, which
