‘Crammed with cracking stories and founded on sound research, Henry Hemming’s biography of Maxwell Knight – ‘M’ – stands comparison with the bestselling books of Ben Macintyre.’ - ADAM SISMAN (Author of 'John Le Carré')

'I raced through Henry Hemming's book, constantly having to remind myself that it wasn't a work of fiction. It really has everything you'd want from a great espionage story: incredible agents risking their lives; the highest possible stakes, with the safety of the world hanging in the balance; and at its heart a complicated, mercurial spy master in Maxwell Knight spinning an ever more intricate web.' - MATT CHARMAN (Oscar-nominated screenwriter of 'Bridge of Spies')

'A fascinating portrait of a complex man. Espionage writing at its best.' - CHARLES CUMMING (Author of 'A Divided Spy')

‘Absolute proof that assiduous digging in the archives can produce scoops. This is intelligence research at its best, especially in the identification of hitherto anonymous agents. Definitely a great contribution to the literature.’ - NIGEL WEST (Author of 'MI5')
