"The Spy and the Traitor" is a riveting Cold War narrative authored by Ben MacIntyre, one of Britain's most celebrated historians. In this book, MacIntyre presents the incredible true story of a KGB double agent, offering a thrilling account of espionage during the Cold War era.
The story begins on a warm July evening in 1985 when a middle-aged man, appearing like an ordinary Soviet citizen in a grey suit and tie, stands on a busy Moscow avenue holding a plastic carrier bag with the red Safeway logo. However, this man is not ordinary; he is a spy, a senior KGB officer who had been secretly providing invaluable intelligence to British spymasters for over a decade. His actions had severely compromised the KGB's operations. The Safeway bag serves as a signal, marking the initiation of his daring escape plan from Soviet Russia.
What unfolds is one of the boldest and most extraordinary episodes in the history of espionage, filled with betrayal, courage, and high-stakes intrigue. Ben MacIntyre unravels a tale that forever changed the course of the Cold War. This book is not only a gripping account of espionage but also a testament to the human capacity for daring and deception during a pivotal era in global history.
