This was a good book for an espionage lover. It was non-fiction although mainly told in a story telling style that was very readable. Categorically it fits into biography as well as historical...and thriller when comes to escapades and plenty of crime and criminal activity. And a natural criminal can add alot to spying and sabotage. And yes, he gets caught at his professional...mainly petty crime, although robbery and safecracking get a little far out for petty crime. But this guy is so likeable

The fact that this book is a true story is really pretty incredible. It lends to the saying that truth is stranger than fiction.
I enjoyed this from the get go; I stumbled on this from the library and was very glad that I did.
