Spy and the Devil: The untold story of the MI6 agent who penetrated Hitlers inner circle [Pehme köide]

The story of Baron de Ropp, who worked as a British agent for SIS/MI6 during the turbulent period between the world wars, shines a light into corners that have hitherto remained in shadow... In telling this hitherto unknown story of a man of amazing audacity and tenacity, Tim Wilsey adds greatly to our knowledge and understanding of the workings of British intelligence at a time of supreme challenge. * Gill Bennett, OBE, intelligence historian and former Chief Historian of the Foreign Office * Fascinating new Cold War history which reads like a spy novel. * The Express * Kerbaj tells Lyalin's story in a compelling new book. He pitches the spy's defection as the saviour of a British secret service which had been rocked by scandal and failure, was riddled with paranoia, and was heavily reliant on the US for its intelligence. * Evening Standard * A fascinating account of an ambiguous time of history. * Amazon.co.uk reader review * Enlightening, thought-provoking, disturbing and (unfortunately) quite timely * Amazon.co.uk reader review *
