Agent Sonya: Lover, Mother, Soldier, Spy by Ben MacIntyre |
The story of a deeply flawed woman who in the name of a twisted ideology betrayed her country. A devoted Mother she was an equally devoted servant of Russia and The KGB. I find it hard to find a good word to say for her. When someone is gripped by a fervent belief in a cause any moral compass goes out of the window. As with The Spy and the Traitor (see bwl 90), this detailed study of infamy is a riveting read.
