📕 Counterfeit Hero: Fritz Duquesne, Adventurer and Spy by Art Ronnie - https://amzn.to/4eg2FQq

An explorer, a big game hunter, a raconteur, a saboteur and a certified lunatic. These are just a few of the personas adopted by a man who is considered one of the most iconic and notorious spies of the 20th century.

Yet for a man of his spying prowess, few today know his real name. Known at various points of his life either as The Black Panther, the Duke, or the man who killed Kitchener, he was handsome, charismatic, intelligent, and fluent in several languages. To some, he was just a common shyster and a conman, while to others, he was a master spy and saboteur.

For a man as enigmatic and complex as South African-born super spy Fritz Duquesne, the truth probably lies somewhere in between.
