Product Information
From noted intelligence authority and author Chapman Pincher comes an utterly riveting book that reveals in startling detail 60 years of Soviet spying against Great Britain and the United States. Using a huge cache of recently released documents and exclusive interviews, Pincher makes a compelling new case that as he has long believed the head of Britain s own counterintelligence and security agency was himself a double agent, acting to undermine and imperil the UK and America. Written with the power of a heart-pounding thriller, Treachery pulls the mask from intelligence leader Roger Hollis. As a result, years of traitorous action and inaction on his watch come tumbling down. Pincher reveals Hollis s early years, when he was schooled at Oxford, which educated many agents, and worked in 1930s Shanghai, a hotbed of soon-to-be spies and Soviet recruiters. Hired by MI5 at a time when there was virtually no vetting of employees he was a grey presence who rose in the ranks over 27 years while, Pincher suspects, he was allowing the most notorious Soviet spies of the century to flourish. Myriad fascinating case histories are portrayed here, including that of Lt. IgorProduct Identifiers

Heavyweight read that keeps you expecting more.
As with other espionage accounts it contains long, detailed and sometimes laborious descriptions, but this is the nature of the subject matter. This makes for a long, but intriguing read. Just right for coping with the Coronavirus epidemic. If the UK secret services were a retail product, you would take them back!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
