Description
In this gripping true account of Cold War espionage, KGB officer Oleg Gordievsky becomes a secret source for Britain’s MI6 after growing disillusioned with the Soviet system. Operating under constant threat of exposure, he supplies vital intelligence while navigating divided loyalties, professional suspicion, and the strain his covert life places on those closest to him. When the KGB begins closing in, Gordievsky faces a perilous struggle for survival that culminates in one of the most daring escapes in intelligence history. Combining meticulous research with the pace and tension of a thriller, the book explores ideology, betrayal, courage, and the hidden forces that helped reshape the twentieth century.
