Books
Louis Bayard was one of the most important French spies of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic eras, who led a life of adventure, privileged access and, ultimately, treachery. Elizabeth Sparrow, whose previous book was the acclaimed Secret Service: British Agents in France 1792-1815 (1999), believes Bayard to have been ‘a double if not triple agent’, but by the end of this well-researched study she provides enough evidence to convict him of being that rarest of beasts: a quadruple agent.
