Manufacturer Description

“A cross among James Bond and Robin Hood.”—The Instances [London].

Assassination by crossbow, refueling do-it-yourself planes in mid-air, mother and daughter seduction—Allied spy Tommy Sneum did it all throughout World War II. The exploits of the Danish-born spy made him a legend in espionage circles. But till now, the total, remarkable story of Sneum’s action-packed job as a British-operate spy has never ever been told.

From his extraordinary escape from Denmark in a battered Hornet Moth aircraft, which he refueled in mid-air, to his 2nd escape, where he walked across a treacherous frozen sea on which two of his companions died, Ryan covers all of Sneum’s thrilling adventures.

Following escaping, Sneum leaked Nazi intelligence regarding radar installations in Denmark and an atom bomb. His reward? Imprisonment in Brixton as a suspected ambigu agent. He cheated the hangman—but it is only with the publication of this enthralling guide that Sneum can be celebrated as—in the phrases of Professor R.V. Jones, Churchill’s chief of scientific intelligence—“one of the correct heroes of World War II.” twelve black-and-white images
