I Worked Alone
During World War II Nathalie "Lily" Sergueiew, a woman of mystery, confidently seduced the German Intelligence Service into employing her as a spy against their British enemy. Little did they know that this striking woman--who turned heads when she walked into a room with her little dog Babs--would work with their enemy against them. Her diary chronicles her months-long journey to becoming a double agent for the British under the code name Treasure. From the moment she conceived the idea of becoming a double agent, Lily faced challenges on two fronts: first, she had to convince the Germans to ask her to spy for them; second, she needed the British to believe her story. Only then could she begin the perilous work of helping free her homeland--France--from the German occupier.
Codename TREASURE
This is the first biography of an intrepid young French woman, Lily Sergueiew, who led an adventurous life and became famous as one of the five D-Day spies. In 1939, her bicycle ride from Paris to Saigon was interrupted by the outbreak of war. Disgusted by the Fall of France in 1940, she took the courageous decision to personally help the Allies drive the Nazis out of France: she would get the Abwehr to train her as a spy and have herself sent to England. Once there, she would betray the Nazis and place herself at the disposal of the Allies. It took three emotionally exhausting years to achieve this. She arrived in England just in time to become TREASURE, one of the five spies who misled the...

Spies
Foreign Policy Best Book of 2023 Foreign Affairs Best Book of 2023 The “riveting” (The Economist), secret story of the hundred-year intelligence war between Russia and the West with lessons for our new superpower conflict with China. Spies is the history of the secret war that Russia and the West have been waging for a century. Espionage, sabotage, and subversion were the Kremlin’s means to equalize the imbalance of resources between the East and West before, during, and after the Cold War. There was nothing “unprecedented” about Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election. It was simply business as usual, new means used for old ends. The Cold War started long before 1945...
Summary of Hervie Haufler's The Spies Who Never Were
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The secret service had to build upon slim prewar beginnings. One reliable agent was Arthur George Owens, who was working for a high-technology firm with business interests in Germany. He was an electrical engineer, chemist, and inventor, and his abilities in battery technology opened doors for him on the Continent. #2 The German intelligence agency, the Abwehr, recruited two Norwegian lads, Helge Moe and Tor Glad, and trained them to be saboteurs. They succeeded in such missions as destroying a food storage dump and an electricity generating station. #3 The Allies had a very effective network of spies in place, and they used them to gather information on the Germans. The Germans, on the other hand, were using spies that were actually working for the British, who were in control of the entire network. #4 The British spy Dusko Popov was courted by the Germans in Belgrade, but he slipped away to check with the British embassy. They told him to go along with the Germans while actually working for them. Popov did go to Britain as a well-off Yugoslav businessman.

Churchill's German Spy
Compared to many of MI5's other double agents, HARLEQUIN’s career was very short-lived, lasting only for a few months in 1943. However, during that time he provided insights into the various parties involved in the Appeasement process in 1938; the Czech crisis of 1939; the enterprises of a Franco-American businessman who hosted the Duke and Duchess of Windsor’s marriage in France; the espionage activities of an aristocratic German family; Admiral Canaris, the head of the Abwehr – many of the Abwehr’s personalities with whom he had come into contact or had known about and the agents he employed – as well as relations between the disparate organisations of the German intelligence ser...
