Spies and Traitors: the Anglo-soviet Spy War That Changed History
About This Novel
Accidentally locked doors, overly busy airport halls... In the view of Oleg Gordievsky, a senior KGB intelligence cadre, everything in Moscow is hidden in danger. Under the Iron Curtain, why did this natural-born KGB spy come into contact with MI6 and become an important source of information for the British intelligence service within the Soviet Union? In the face of a major crisis in which the superpowers are about to collide, how can he navigate between the two camps of the East and the West to save the world from the fate of a nuclear war? When Gordievsky finally chose to flee the Soviet Union, how did MI6 help him hide his identity under the surveillance of the KGB, and who was the person who ultimately betrayed his identity? Ben McIntyre, the author of "The Ruffian Hero", tells the story of this ace spy's legendary journey between life and death between the Soviet Union and Britain in a writing style that impressed John le Carré.
