Sunday Times Bestselling author of The Traitor of Colditz Robert Verkaik
reveals the incredible never-before-told story of the role played by the
Cambridge Spies in the British defeat at Arnhem
"Original, thought-provoking and exceedingly well written. I have not read
such a convincing portrayal of the German intelligence war in Holland." Robert
Kershaw
The end of the Second World War is in sight.
Following the overwhelming victory on D-Day, Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin
all seek to shape the global future to their own ends and win the race to
Berlin.
The British launch Operation Market Garden, the greatest airborne operation
the world has ever seen. It is a bold roll of the dice, which, if successful,
will end the war in weeks. But behind the scenes, spies are working, and plans
are betrayed, the operation fails and thousands of Allied soldiers die.
The Traitor of Arnhem tells a never-before-told story of this iconic
operation, and of the very different figures working in secret to cause the
catastrophic defeat. One traitor a terrifying giant of a man, a supposed hero
of the resistance who sent hundreds of fellow freedom fighters to torture and
death, the other an aristocrat and an English gentleman, working from inside
the heart of the Allied war effort in London. Both of them working for the
Russians.
Drawn from unseen records and shedding fresh light on the operation and the
spies responsible for its failure, this is an incredible account of the battle
that would go on to shape the twentieth century.
