In 1943 a young official from the German foreign ministry contacted Allen Dulles, an OSS officer in Switzerland who would later head the Central Intelligence Agency. That man was Fritz Kolbe, who had decided to betray his country after many years of opposing Nazism. While Dulles was skeptical, Kolbe's information was in a way that he eventually admitted, "No diplomat abroad, of whatever rank, could 've got his hands on a whole lot information as did this man; he was one of my most effective agents during World War II." Using recently declassified materials at the U.S. National Archives and Kolbe's personal papers, Lucas Delattre has produced a work of impressive scholarship that moves with the swift pace of an Le Carré thriller.
