The Spy Who Pretended To Be Homeless

Available for over a year

A few years ago he spent several months pretending to be a homeless man living on the streets of north London. He went to great lengths to blend in, but it was all worth it when he ended up preventing two coaches full of school children from being blown up. He's written a book about his experience which is called "Soldier Spy".
