Abstract

The article discusses a book titled "A Cambridge Spy: Jan-Willem Van Den Braak: Hitler's Spy against Churchill" by Nigel West. The book explores the life of Jan Ter Braak, a Dutch journalist and Nazi sympathizer who spied for the Germans during World War II. The author debunks myths surrounding Ter Braak's identity and actions, revealing that he was not a German spy, assassin, or murderer as previously believed. The book also examines the failures of MI5 in apprehending Ter Braak and highlights missed opportunities in the investigation. [Extracted from the article]
