About This Item
London: Penguin Random House UK, 2019. Paperback small trade, very good condition, black & white & colour & few sepia (brown-tinted) photos, minor edgewear. 370 pp. This is the story of Colonel Oleg Gordievsky, chief of the KGB's London station who in 1985 was summoned to Moscow. He feared for his life because he was a secret British spy. This book details his exceptional espionage, the trail of treachery that led to him being confronted, drugged and interrogated in Moscow and, the astonishing MI6 operation to get him out alive. Ben Macintyre shows how Gordievsky's tale of duplicity and daring changed the course of the Cold War for ever. (Originally published 2018, this edition has a new afterword based on reader comments.).
