The Expendable Spy

Against the background of a deadly undercover war between the Gestapo and Soviet agents during the collapse of the Third Reich, The Expendable Spy is the hair-raising novel of an audacious American who discovers a secret so big and so appalling that his own intelligence office orders his execution.

Jack D. Hunter served in WWII in the War Department Intelligence Center as a counterespionage agent. As an undercover agent, he directed "Operation Nursery", the lengthy counterintelligence effort credited with thwarting the only known organized plot to perpetuate the Nazi system after Hitler's downfall.

Skip It

This is one of the worst historical spy fiction novels I have ever encountered. The dialogue is ridiculous and the actions of the main character are totally unrealistic. Skip this one. Buy an Alan Furst or WEB Griffin novel instead.
