https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0blvnxbBen Mcintyre's thrilling history tells the breathtaking story of a KGB double-agent operating at the height of the Cold War.
Passing countless secrets to his British spymasters at M16 over the course of a decade he undermined the Soviet Union's intelligence gathering machine from deep within. Eventually, he was betrayed and what followed was a sequence of events involving ingenuity, duplicity, and fearlessness.
Read by Tim McInnerny.
Abridged by Richard Hamilton
Interesting in the light of recent claims/revelations.
You can understand how people who join and risk their lives, put their trust in colleagues, don't take well to traitors.
