My Take
Ben Macintyre is, for my money, living proof that truth outruns fiction. A Cambridge-trained journalist and historian, he digs into the espionage world and returns with stories more nerve-wracking than any thriller. What I admire most is craft: he takes dusty classified files, human betrayal and loyalty, and reshapes them into narratives you cannot put down. As an editor I feel a twinge of professional envy at how cleanly he structures the suspense. The Royal Society of Literature fellowship fits. Among writers who deal strictly in facts, he is one of the most entertaining I know.
