Description

Double Agent Celery: A True Story of Deception and Espionage Carolinda Witt's meticulously researched biography tells the remarkable story of Walter Dicketts, codenamed Celery, a double agent recruited by MI5 during World War II. Sent to Lisbon with a seemingly impossible mission, Dicketts was tasked with convincing the Germans he was a traitor while extracting crucial secrets. Dicketts' life as a double agent was marked by danger and deception, as he navigated the complex web of espionage in Hamburg, Berlin, and Brazil. Despite being betrayed as an MI5 plant before his deployment to Germany, Dicketts managed to outwit his interrogators and return to Britain, where he went on to persuade an Abwehr Officer to defect. Using a wealth of sources, including family records, police documents, newspaper articles, and personal memories, Witt unravels the intricate yet true story of Double Agent Celery. This gripping biography sheds light on the life of a man who walked the fine line between heroism and villainy, making for a compelling read for anyone interested in military history and espionage.
