A masterpiece of biographical detective work, The Secret Lives of Trebitsch Lincoln chronicles the astonishing true story of one of the twentieth century's most audacious impostors and spies. Born Ignácz Trebitsch in Hungary in 1879, Lincoln reinvented himself across continents and ideologies — serving as a British Member of Parliament, a double agent for multiple warring nations, a gun-runner, a Buddhist monk, and a Nazi conspirator. Bernard Wasserstein draws on extensive archival research across a dozen countries to reconstruct a life so improbable it defies fiction, presenting Lincoln as the ultimate self-made man of deception. Praised as my favorite spy by Leslie Gelb of The New York Times and described as a brilliant account of one of the most remarkable adventurers of the twentieth century by Richard Cobb, this work stands as the definitive account of a man who was, by any measure, history's greatest confidence trickster.
