Reviews
"[Ben] Macintyre is fastidious about tradecraft details. . . . [He] has become the preeminent popular chronicler of British intelligence history because he understands the essence of the business." --David Ignatius, The Washington Post "Macintyre writes with novelistic flair." -- Entertainment Weekly "Macintyre is a superb writer, with an eye for the telling detail as fine as any novelist's." -- The Dallas Morning News "Macintyre is a master storyteller." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Macintyre is one of the most gifted espionage writers around." --Annie Jacobsen, author of Area 51 and Operation Paperclip "Macintyre writes with the diligence and insight of a journalist, and the panache of a born storyteller." --John Banville, The Guardian (UK) "Macintyre at once exalts and subverts the myths of spycraft, and has a keen eye for absurdity." -- The New Yorker "With Macintyre in charge, you're virtually guaranteed a history book that reads like a spy novel." -- Richmond Times-Dispatch "A scrupulous and insightful writer--a master historian." --Alan Furst, author of Mission to Paris "Macintyre is a master at leading the reader down some very tortuous paths while ensuring they never lose their bearings." -- Evening Standard (UK) "Macintyre . . . has that enviable gift, the inability to write a dull sentence." -- The Spectator (UK)

Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The "master storyteller" ( San Francisco Chronicle ) behind the New York Times bestseller The Spy and the Traitor uncovers the true story behind one of the Cold War's most intrepid spies. "[An] immensely exciting, fast-moving account."-- The Washington Post NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Foreign Affairs - Kirkus Reviews - Library Journal In 1942, in a quiet village in the leafy English Cotswolds, a thin, elegant woman lived in a small cottage with her three children and her husband, who worked as a machinist nearby. Ursula Burton was friendly but reserved, and spoke English with a slight foreign accent. By all accounts, she seemed to be living a simple, unassuming life. Her neighbors in the village knew little about her. They didn't know that she was a high-ranking Soviet intelligence officer. They didn't know that her husband was also a spy, or that she was running powerful agents across Europe. Behind the facade of her picturesque life, Burton was a dedicated Communist, a Soviet colonel, and a veteran agent, gathering the scientific secrets that would enable the Soviet Union to build the bomb. This true-life spy story is a masterpiece about the woman code-named "Sonya." Over the course of her career, she was hunted by the Chinese, the Japanese, the Nazis, MI5, MI6, and the FBI--and she evaded them all. Her story reflects the great ideological clash of the twentieth century--between Communism, Fascism, and Western democracy--and casts new light on the spy battles and shifting allegiances of our own times. With unparalleled access to Sonya's diaries and correspondence and never-before-seen information on her clandestine activities, Ben Macintyre has conjured a page-turning history of a legendary secret agent, a woman who influenced the course of the Cold War and helped plunge the world into a decades-long standoff between nuclear superpowers., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The "master storyteller" ( San Francisco Chronicle ) behind the New York Times bestseller The Spy and the Traitor uncovers the true story behind one of the Cold War's most intrepid spies.

- k***i (33)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufFantastic price, faster shipping than expected, item as described. However, packaging was a thin plastic envelope instead of bubble/ cardboard. Book arrived new yet slightly damaged. Not worth asking for a return due to the very low price, yet would suggest to seller/ future buyers to have better packaging for shipping. Thanks.
