Description
The Useful Idiot
In 1932, Gareth Jones, a young Welsh reporter, travels to Moscow to witness the Soviet Union's great experiment. He meets American and British journalists who hail Stalin's revolution, but when he witnesses people starving in Ukraine, his faith is shattered. As he struggles to report the truth, he must navigate a treacherous landscape where informers lurk around every corner. The woman he loves becomes embroiled with the secret police, putting everything Gareth holds dear at risk. Can he reveal the terrible truth about the Ukrainian famine, or will he be silenced forever? This gripping thriller is a powerful exploration of the first great Soviet lie, set against the backdrop of one of history's darkest periods. As the stakes grow higher, Gareth must decide where his loyalties truly lie. THE USEFUL IDIOT is a heart-pounding tale of fake news, deception and survival, well suited to readers who enjoy Robert Harris, Ken Follett and Kate Atkinson.Related Products
