The Invisible Spy offers an intriguing and well-researched exploration of Ernest Cuneo’s life as a spy during WWII. This book showcases his unique ability to work within and among various government entities to ensure the intended goals for the groups he worked with were achieved. Throughout his life he was well regarded by those who knew him, but he never really sought fame or distinction for the roles he played in obtaining and sharing information. The book further discusses his relationships with other spies and political figures and how these relationships impacted and shaped the decisions he made as well as the way he lived his life.

The Invisible Spy was captivating from beginning to end and provided insight into an aspect of WWII that I had not necessarily considered as much prior to reading this work. Maier’s work is a must read for anyone who holds a love of history.

“The Invisible Spy” starts off with two Nazi spies walking through New York City, and one being hit by a car. Yes, Nazi spies in NYC! They were far from the only spies. Ernest Cune, a tough and smart Italian American guy who played NFL ball for the Brooklyn Dodger (yes football, not baseball) who becomes an intelligence go-between and political influencer. This book not only brings a ton of untold stories but all the big names like Fleming (yes Bond’s Fleming) and Wild Bill. If you love reading about true life spies, this is a great read.
