Trade ReviewA spy thriller that
kept me up all night.
Magnificent story-telling, always clear, every episode
meticulously researched. It's also
a fascinating commentary on the height of the Cold War with Eisenhower, Kennedy and Khrushchev intimately involved in the
skulduggery in Berlin -- Peter Snow
A super book,
beautifully told and compelling throughout. Vogel sketches George Blake perfectly as a diffident traitor who combines high intellect with ruthlessness -- Luke Harding, author of 'Collusion'

crackling Cold War espionage story,

dramatic spy stories of the Cold War,
