"A Berkley book."--T.p. verso.

"Berkley novel."--Spine.

"I am an old man now. But many years ago, when I was very young, I helped to defeat the greatest evil the world had ever known. I was little more than a boy when my beloved France fell to the Nazi invaders. But when Winston Churchill recruited me as a 'special' secret agent shortly thereafter, my youth did not matter. All that mattered was my determination to rid Europe of the Nazi scourge. The next four years of my life were spend behind enemy lines, crisscrossing war-torn Europe as I went wherever duty called me, working in the shadows of that great conflict. I have saved lives, and I have taken them. That was my mission. I was a spy. This is my story."--Cover p. [iv].
