Was Henri Déricourt a loyal spy, a traitorous double agent or a heroic triple agent?

Jean Overton Fuller’s book is a fascinating exposé on the shadowy world of espionage and counter-espionage during the Second World war seen through the eyes of one of its most controversial figures.

Perfect for readers of Ben Macintyre, Ewan Montagu and Philippe Sands.

Parachuted into France to receive and dispatch British aircraft which landed secret agents, Déricourt was awarded with the Croix de Guerre with Palm and the Legion d’Honneur for his contribution to the war effort.

Only later, when it transpired that he had been in regular contact with the Gestapo, did question marks arise about him. He was even charged with treason but was acquitted at his court martial.

Was there more to this case than met the eye? Was Déricourt loyal to Allies even if he had been in contact with the Germans? Or was he a traitor who had caused the death of many of his fellow agents?

Jean Overton Fuller sifts through the information, sorting truth from lies, to uncover the truth of Déricourt’s wartime activities. Through numerous interviews and letters Overton Fuller questions not only Déricourt himself but also many of other main participants in the story from Germany, France and England.

Déricourt: The Chequered Spy is an absorbing account that transports the reader to the murky world of Second World War espionage.

1.0 out of 5 stars another rehashed difficult to read story
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 2, 2024

I am persisting in reading this authors work but I find her style difficult to follow, it doesn’t really seem logical and she was very full of her own self importance. Thankfully the books are free as I would be even more irritated if I was paying for such poor quality. Am I learning anything new? Probably not, it’s all very repetitive and despite the extensive research very amateurish. Frankly I think anyone wanting to learn about SOE is better off reading more modern interpretations now that some more information is in the public domain and better writers and historians have crafted less juvenile works
