Seven Spies Who Changed the World

These seven espionage case-studies focus on Dusko Popov, Wulf Schmidt, William Buckley, Anthony Blunt, George Blake, Francis Gary Powers and Greville Wynne. The author has had access to British, American and Soviet intelligence personnel, and the book is based on his own interviews and research. Nigel West - also known as Rupert Allason, MP for Torbay - has written several controversial histories of Britain's intelligence organizations, including "A Matter of Trust", "Molehunt: The Full Story of the Soviet Spy in MI5" and "The Friends".
