Review �A remarkable work about a complicated and relatively unknown individual.

Owen Matthews tells the story of Sorge's extraordinary life with tremendous verve and expertise and a real talent for mise en sc�ne.

A clear-eyed, deeply researched and finely-judged portrait� ?Saul David, Telegraph�Gloriously readable� Every chapter of Matthews's superbly researched biography reads like something from an Eric Ambler thriller.� ?Sunday Times�A vividly told story, thoroughly researched and well-crafted � I love a thrilling spy story, especially one as superbly narrated as this, full of Bond-like drama about Sorge's brushes with death, his love of fast cars and women.� ?The Financial Times�Sorge's career trajectory makes An Impeccable Spy a solid introduction to the political turmoil gripping much of the world at the time � Matthews does an admirable job trying to peel back his mask � Sorge was a complicated man but an undeniably excellent spy.� ?Shelf Awareness Read more About the Author Owen Matthews studied Modern History at Oxford University before beginning his career as a journalist in Bosnia.
