À propos de cet audio
Spies, bed-hopping, treachery and executions – this story of espionage in wartime Bordeaux is told for the first time.
Game of Spies uncovers a lethal spy triangle at work during the Second World War. The story centres on three men – on British, one French and one German – and the duels they fought out in an atmosphere of collaboration, betrayal and assassination, in which comrades sold fellow comrades, Allied agents and downed pilots to the Germans, as casually as they would a bottle of wine.
In this thrilling history of how ordinary, untrained people in occupied Europe faced the great questions of life, death and survival, Paddy Ashdown tells a fast-paced tale of SOE, betrayal and bloodshed in the city labelled ‘la plus belle collaboratrice’ in the whole of France.

What a Tangled Web they did Weave!
Well researched and written, not to mention superbly read by author, Paddy Ashdown! My passion is WWII stories of courageous, resourceful women and men who fought the 'Shadow Wars', behind enemy lines. Paddy Ashdown ties together neatly(If that monumental task could ever be done completely; Paddy does it best!), all the many books that have come before! His French is first rate and you can hear and feel the tension and passion in his voice as he reads to us. The web of deceit; bluff; move & counter-move in this area of France(Bordeaux) is complex, and you need a "program" to keep up with all the chess moves on the board. But Paddy lays it out nicely and I found that I couldn't wait to listen to the NEXT chapter. A great find, which I highly recommend to all who share the same passion as I. Some other great reads/listens that overlap and explain, and that my Canadian friends(And Everyone), might enjoy are: 'Sisters, Secrets and Sacrifice'(The Incredible NEARNE Sisters), by Susan Ottaway; "Code Name: Lise" by Larry Loftis; 'They Fought Alone'(The Starr Bros. Great Story), by Charles Glass; "Scholars of Mayhem" by Daniel Guiet & Timothy Smith and 'Madame Fourcade's Secret War' by Lynne Olson to name a few GREAT listens! - R. Larocque.
