Anti-Hero

The Spy Who Masterminded the Largest Espionage Ring in USA History

De: Ethan Quinn

Narrado por: Michael C. Gwynne

Many terms were bestowed upon the mysterious Fritz Duquesne throughout his colorful life, but perhaps the most fitting ever attributed to him was: "the most dangerous prisoner to have ever lived."

But before this Boer warrior-turned-spy reached the heights of infamy that awarded him such acclaim, Fritz Joubert Duquesne lived a life of adventure that many people wouldn’t experience in a hundred lifetimes. From a young age, Fritz harboured a burning resentment toward the British army, stemming from the brutal treatment suffered by his family during the Anglo-Boer wars.

Fritz vowed revenge against the nation that took from him those he held dear, leading to his own enrollment in the military of whichever side fought opposite the British forces.

Through complex prison escapes, destructive acts of sabotage, and heroic feats that are even too far-fetched for fiction, Fritz Duquesne exacted revenge in the most daring, unbelievable, and all-round theatrical manner possible.

His life crossed oceans and continents, assuming multiple aliases and personas along the way. Eventually, Fritz Duquesne found himself a crucial cog in the Nazi machine, ultimately being responsible for the largest spy ring ever uncovered in the United States.

Fantastic story that could be fiction... But Isn't

I received this title for free in exchange for an unbiased review. This is an excellent TRUE story about spies, capture, escape, war and the horror of it, and a man who used strategy, planning, and spur of the moment thinking that Ethan Quinn puts together masterfully with just the right amount of time and detail. This never once lost my attention, and I eagerly listened the entire time, and when it was over, my only thought was "Wow!"

Journalist, Spy, Pimp......The Man Who Did it All

I love when I can learn about a person, that I had previously never knew existed. What a crazy, yet incredible life that was lived by Fritz Duquesne. I had never even heard of him prior to listening to this book and Ethan Quinn has inspired me to due further research on Duquesne. This was my first book by Ethan Quinn and love the way he tells the story, where the timeline is easy to follow, even though it spans over the life of Duquene. I also commend the narration, which was very well done! Very few times do I find a book that I cannot stop listening to, this is one of those books. I had to find out what stunt Duquesne did next and how he gets himself out of trouble....FANTASTIC READ!!!

Unbelievable True Story

I received this book for free. I am voluntarily posting this review and any opinions expressed herein are my own.

I had never even heard of Fritz Duquesne prior to listening to this book. What a tragic and interesting life he led. From enduring the heartbreak of the loss of his mother and sister - leading to his absolute hatred of Britain and his quest for vengeance. It was fascinating how this hatred pushed him to spy for the Nazis during WWII. It was almost unbelievable how much Fritz was willing to endure to escape from prison. A very good true story about spying, being captured, escaping and the cleverness and tenacity borne of hatred of one man determined to sabotage an entire country.
