Description
Thomas Kendrick was at the heart of British intelligence operations during World War II. His remarkable story, previously unknown to the public, is now revealed in this groundbreaking biography. Kendrick's work as "British Passport Officer" spanned decades and continents, facilitating spy networks across Europe and helping Austrian Jews escape persecution. He also played a pivotal role in setting up the "M Room," a listening operation that rivaled Bletchley Park in significance. Helen Fry draws on extensive original research to tell Kendrick's story, shedding light on the development of MI6 and its key figures. Through Kendrick's life, Fry explores both his private and public personas, revealing a man who embodied the quintessential "English gent" - charming and secretive.
