I have become a bit obsessed with Cold War history and fiction, but had never heard much about Michal Goleniewski. Though some say he was one of the best spies the West ever had, he remains one of the least known figures of this fascinating era, largely written out of the history books. Tim Tate does a brilliant job of uncovering why that should be, drawing on previously-unpublished primary source documents. Though Goleniewski exposed hundreds of KGB agents operating undercover in the West, including George Blake and the 'Portland Spy Ring', the problem was, he was a deeply flawed man - greedy for Western funds, and to the generous CIA's embarrassment, a bigamist and fantasist who ended his career claiming publicly to be the last descendent of the Russian Tzar and heir to the Romanov fortune. It's a wild ride of an espionage tale.
Spring 1958: a mysterious individual believed to be high up in the Polish secret service began passing Soviet secrets to the West.
His name was Michal Goleniewski and he remains one of the most important, least known and most misunderstood spies of the Cold War. Even his death is shrouded in mystery and he has been written out of the history of Cold War espionage - until now.
Tim Tate draws on a wealth of previously-unpublished primary source documents to tell the dramatic true story of the best spy the west ever lost and how Goleniewski exposed hundreds of KGB…
It is April 1st, 2038. Day 60 of China's blockade of the rebel island of Taiwan.
The US government has agreed to provide Taiwan with a weapons system so advanced that it can disrupt the balance of power in the region. But what pilot would be crazy enough to run…
I loved the authentic setting in London in the mid-1970s, which was real in every way to me. The insights Judd offers from experience into the shadowy world of British intelligence are comparable to Le Carré's, with the same knowing detachment as the plot rolls along. The story is all too believable while maintaining its high-stakes premise, and grips until the final page. The hero Charles Thoroughgood manages to be both relatable and an action-man risk-taker when required. Can't believe it took me so long to discover this novel.
Charles Thorougood is an agent of MI6 working in London during the Cold War, with a young Soviet assistant. Unexpectedly he learns of a strange legacy left to him by his estranged father, the implications of which are much darker than expected at first. The first novel in a spy trilogy.
