AWW23: Spooks and the Stories They Spin - Ben Macintyre

Chair: Tony Jones


Ben Macintyre, the bestselling author of The Spy and the
Traitor, Agent Zigzag and Operation Mincemeat, combines
a literary gift for thrilling espionage writing with the rigour
of a historian. His latest work, Colditz: Prisoners of the
Castle, explores the astonishing true story of prisoners inside
an ’inescapable’ Nazi prison camp in the Second World War.
Macintyre talks to Tony Jones about his oeuvre and what it means
to write a nonfiction novel.
