pattern recognition is my passion

Outstanding book. I found Waldo on every page. Primo, dude.

Historical Record of German Intelligence (Abwehr) in WWII

I bought and read this book many years ago while I was an active US counterintelligence agent. Soon after obtaining and reading Game of the Foxes, I came across J.C. Masterman's Double-Cross System in Munich, Germany. Masterman's book is an excellent companion read To Game of the Foxes. Farago wrote this account using captured Abwehr (German Human Intelligence) records in government archives that had been long overlooked. It tells an interesting story of the intelligence operations conducted by Nazi Germany against the Allies from their perspective. To get the full impact of Farago's book, I suggest reading Masterman's XX book, which is a record of the incredibly successful British Counterintelligence operations working against the German intelligence services. The two books together tell the whole story.

World War II espionage against the US and UK

True WWII espionage based on the captured archives of the German intelligence agency Abwehr. Not as exciting as "A Man Called Intrepid", but is a good counterpoint to that title. Recommended for military history fans.

A lengthy but very readable account of WW2 Abwehr operations

Although somewhat long in the tooth, and therefore misses more recent relevations like the exposure of Anthony Blunt, (the edition I read was published 1973), I found this book to be a lengthy (840 pages) but extremely readable account of Nazi Germany's Abwehr intelligence activities before and during the Second World War. Anybody who has enjoyed J. C. Masterman's classic "The Double Cross System", or William Stephenson's "A Man Called Intrepid" should read this well-reasearched and entertaining history.
