Description
The epic intelligence war between East and West is a story that spans a century, with lessons for our current global conflicts. Calder Walton's Spies delves into the hitherto secret archives and exclusive interviews with former agents to reveal the history of this long-standing rivalry. From the freezing streets of St. Petersburg in 1917 to the bloody beaches of Normandy, and from coups in faraway lands to present-day Moscow, the narrative shifts across continents and decades, exposing the best and worst of humanity. Espionage, election meddling, disinformation, and sabotage are all part of this ongoing struggle, with the West fighting back against the Kremlin's means to equalise the imbalance of arms. This gripping account of intelligence skulduggery sheds light on the business as usual of Russian meddling in global affairs, and the Western powers' response to this threat.
