I know there's a Sean Connery movie, I preferred to read the book:
Umberto Eco "The name of the rose"
Umberto Eco "The name of the rose"
The first time I read "Rise and Fall", I was in middle school. I was a very serious young woman. When I studied WW II later in college, I had to explain to my military history professor that I carried a book like "The Wind in the Willows" as antidote to the misery of it all.
Just finished Alan Furst's "Spies of the Balkans", now on "Spies of Warsaw". Great WWII books with locations in Europe, especially Paris in the late 30's and post-Occupation. I have read most of his books, and hope he keeps them coming.
Agent Zig Zag by Ben Macubtyre. True story of Eddie Chapman a criminal and womanizer who became an important double agent for the British during WWII. Two thumbs and two big toes up (this is my highest rating)
