About the Book

If you're looking for a good spy thriller, I definitely recommend this' Daily Express For anyone interested in the Second World War, spying, romance, skullduggery or the hidden chambers of the Human mind, it would be impossible to recommend it too highly Craig Brown, Book of the Year, Mail on Sunday The thrilling real-life story of a double agent in the Second World War One December night in 1942, a Nazi parachutist landed in a Cambridgeshire field. His mission: to sabotage the British war effort. His name was Eddie Chapman, but he would shortly become MI5s Agent Zigzag. Dashing and louche, courageous and unpredictable, the traitor was a patriot inside, and the villain a hero. The problem for Chapman, his many lovers and his spymasters was knowing who he was. Ben Macintyre weaves together diaries, letters, photographs, memories and top-secret MI5 files to create the exhilarating account of Britains most sensational double agent. 0 13 0 Select, 0 Select, 0 5 1 2 1 9780747592839 NULL 99999

It begins before human beings moved out of Africa to explore and settle the other continents. It is a story of the inhabited world being pulled apart, and of it coming together again in recent centuries. Blainey recreates human experience in its astoundingly varied forms, describing human life at both its grandest and most domestic levels: covering amazing discoveries and powerful empires, and changes in diet, daily life work and sport. In A Very Short History of the World, Blainey takes his masterful account of human history and abridges it to make a compelling and hugely accessible work of history."
