The end of the Second World War is in sight.
Following the Western Allies' overwhelming victory on D-Day, Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin are all prepared to shape the future, and Operation Market Garden is Britain's attempt to beat the Russians to Berlin and be the first to help craft the new world order.

With 10,000 men dropped into Arnhem and another 20,000 in Grave, the British are set to secure the area and declare victory. However, Dutch resistance hero Christian Lindemans has other plans.

Lindemans is determined to help the Germans gain the lead in the war and begins to dismantle the operation from within, betraying hundreds of Allied soldiers and changing the course of history forever.

Drawn from unseen records, The Traitor of Arnhem is an epic story of secret missions, trust and treachery, bringing to light the murky story of one of the most influential spies of the Twentieth Century.

Reviews
Original, thought-provoking and exceedingly well written ... I have not read such a convincing portrayal of the German intelligence war in Holland, the author is to be congratulated. He makes a convincing case for Blunt's involvement ... This book is a positive and original contribution to what over the years has become quite an emotive debate ... A worthwhile read. * Robert Kershaw, author of It Never Snows in September *
This history book serves as a powerful and timely reminder of how the failure to tackle Joseph Stalin's threat to the West at the end of World War 2 has forced the free world to face up to the aggression of Vladimir Putin today. * Bill Browder, author of Red Notice and Freezing Order *
The strongest point of the book is the story about 'Josephine'. We will probably never be sure who 'Josephine' was, if it even was a person, but... Robert proves the case as far as circumstantial evidence allows one. * Bob de Graaff, Holland's foremost expert on intelligence and the official historian of the Dutch intelligence services *
Excellent ... a remarkable answer through considerable research to the vexed question: why were the Nazis unexpectedly lying in wait? * The Jewish Chronicle *
A bombshell book. * Daily Mail *
Sensational. * Daily Express *
Breathtaking. * Sunday Post *
Vivid and arresting ... Building a convincing case for the identity of the agents who ensured the frustration of the Allied military operation at Arnhem, Robert Verkaik has delivered a well-researched and intriguing book. * Lord Browne & Russell Clarke, PoliticsHome *
Robert Verkaik's best book yet, a testament to his investigative skills, journalistic nous for a compelling story, and impressive understanding of the spy world. He has uncovered an espionage scoop that for decades was totally missed by other historians. * Richard Kerbaj, author of Five Eyes *
