Description
After fighting in the Dutch resistance during World War II, George Blake joined the British spy agency MI6 and was stationed in Seoul. Taken prisoner after the North Korean army overran his post in 1950, Blake later returned to England to a hero's welcome, carrying a dark secret: while in a communist prison camp in North Korea, he had secretly switched sides to the KGB after reading Karl Marx's Das Kapital. He exposed hundred of western agents; after his unmasking and arrest Blake received the longest sentence in British history to that time. Kuper interviewed Blake at his dacha outside Moscow to present an unprecedented account of Cold War espionage. -- Adapted from jacket.
