I encountered it quite by accident on TV, and was happy I did. Nice bits of the author following Montgomery around to learn his speech patterns, mannerisms, and movement, to better play him, and later touring North Africa, meeting with officers who knew Montgomery personally, and fooling them.

I wanted to add that there's supposedly a film version in development for MacIntyre's other book Agent Zigzag, based on the Eddie Chapman tale. Good stuff. Gimme a con man and an espionage mission in a compelling historical setting and I'm hooked.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks for the heads up.
