| The Spy in the Tower (cover) |
Had another author leave a review of The Spy in the Tower on Amazon.com...
(4 out of 5 stars)
Dr.
Jakobs has written a very important contribution to an under- and
mis-represented aspect of espionage history - the treatment of Hitler's
'Lena' spies. These were agents sent by the Abwehr, in the winter of
1940-1941, to prepare the ground for the planned invasion. Jakobs's
account is especially poignant because her grandfather was one of those
executed. She complements her very thorough inspection of the archives,
therefore, with a very moving story of Joseph Jakobs's prosecution and
execution, which now seem highly controversial under a stricter
examination of the quickly-enacted Treachery Act. 'The Spy in the Tower'
may be a little too narrowly focused for the general reader, but it is a
compelling tale, nonetheless. (Tony Percy on Amazon.com)
I appreciate any and all reviews!!
