Description
Discover the incredible true story of a woman who conducted some of the most dangerous espionage operations of the twentieth century. Born to a German Jewish family, Ursula Kuczynski Burton was drawn to communism as a young woman, motivated by the promise of a fair and peaceful society. Her life took a dramatic turn as she became a spymaster, saboteur, bomb-maker and secret agent.
From planning an assassination attempt on Hitler in Switzerland, to spying on the Japanese in Manchuria, to preventing nuclear war by stealing the science of atomic weaponry from Britain to give to Moscow, her story is one of courage, conviction and cunning. This gripping tale of a life that would change the course of history is based on meticulous research and reads like a novel.
Ben Macintyre's latest book is a gripping ride that sheds new light on a fascinating and forgotten chapter of history. With its quirky human details and intricate plot, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in espionage, war, and the complexities of human nature.
