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?

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.

Got round to colson whiteheads underground railroad, it's excellent well deserved pulitzer. I could give it a second read to dwell on the moments between the terror, only criticism is for myself for reading it too quickly

Our old mucker serjeantwildgoose was a big rysuard kapuszincki fan, I struggled to read the shadow of the sun previously

I picked up the emperor anyway and it's written in a different style, and is excellent. Based on interviews of those who served in the palace before and during the fall of haile selaisse. There's a mesmeric quality to the writing and the notion of emperor is relevant again!
