Is that the book about the KGB guy who turned and was a British spy? Ben McIntyre is very very good, his books are usually excellent.paddy no 11 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 18, 2025 7:04 pm The spy and the traitor by Ben mcintyre
I haven't read anything remotely related to espionage in at least 25 years - dipped in here again and devoured this ,it's a cracking read
Are ye familiar with authors work? Anything else recommended?

It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
