The Spycatcher Affair: A Story of State-Sanctioned Deception In 1983, Peter Wright, a former MI5 agent, blew the whistle on the British government's attempts to silence him and conceal the truth about the country's intelligence services. This shocking revelation exposed a web of lies and deceit that went all the way to the top. Tim Tate's book, To Catch a Spy, is a gripping account of the events that followed, revealing the extent of the cover-up and the lengths to which the government went to silence Wright. The story is one of state-sanctioned deception, with the government lying to Parliament and courts around the world. It's a tale of stories leaked with the intention to mislead and deceive, and the consequences that followed. This is a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat, as you follow the twists and turns of a scandal that threatened to bring down the British government. Hardcover, 400 pages.
