Snow: The Double Life of a World War II Spy by Nigel West and Madoc Roberts (Facebook)  is a dense book, filled with secrets, double crossing and the fog of espionage. The authors did a tremendous research job to shed light on this world of shadows.
What remains a mystery though is the protagonist of the story. Arthur Owens, a Welsh battery salesman who has no interest for his inventions decides to offer them to the Germans. When the British Intelligence (MI5) discovers this, Owens becomes a double agent. Owens is a character no one could make up, a man who changes his beliefs and his allegiance whenever convenient. Espionage fans, as well as history fans, will be delighted with Owensâ shenanigans even though Iâm not sure Iâd want to hang around with him.
This book, with its fascinating historical research, has a tremendous amount of information about Englandâs clandestine operations during World War II. The conflicted and complex characters whose true motives may never be known are part of the mystery of the book, the war and frankly the world.
In the grand scheme of things Arthur Owens was a nobody, a small cog in a great machine. But itâs those small cogs that help us win the war and tip the scales of history.
So tell me, do you like stories about the small cogs?
Arthur Owens, a battery salesman, has offered his services to the Germans (along with his patent) during the early days of World War II. However, when MI5 finds about it they make him become a double agent.
Known by his code name Snow, Owens becomes a remarkable spy and the first great double-cross agents who played a major role (somewhat unbeknownst to him) in the warâs victory.
