The Eagle in the Mirror by Jesse Fink

 This is a forensic examination of the accusations against Charles Howard ‘Dick’ Ellis, a highly important spy who was involved in the founding of three intelligence services. Originally Australia, Ellis came from a dirt-poor background and worked his way to the top from a tough childhood. He has been accused of spying for the Russians and the Germans and even been compared with Philby. Is there evpnough evidence for this?

I read a lot of the book but eventually it became too confusing so I read the summary in the Epilogue. It might be easier in paperback form. Still, it is definitely worth reading if you like spy stories.

I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
