1917 and a British intelligence officer, Sandy Innes, injured whilst working as a labourer behind German lines, is asked to return to the front to help prepare others for spying behind lines where they are often dropped by balloon, an area dominating James Long’s new book Balloonist, also out this month, a fascinating area little written about thus far, then two together! This one is less dramatic, more politically bent and concentrates on the inadequacies of the ‘top secret’ information fed to Field Marshal Haig and his team. This is France and occupied Belgium and we all know of the dreadful slaughter. Here is some of the background in an intelligent, dense, historical spy story. ~ Sarah Broadhurst
