Agent Sonya

This true-life spy story follows a woman code-named "Sonya," who was a dedicated Communist, a Soviet colonel, and a veteran agent. She gathered scientific secrets that enabled the Soviet Union to build the bomb. Over the course of her career, she was hunted by the Chinese, the Japanese, the Nazis, MI5, MI6, and the FBI - and evaded them all. This book sheds light on the spy battles and shifting allegiances of our own times, as well as the great ideological clash of the twentieth century. With access to Sonya's diaries and never-before-seen information on her clandestine activities, Ben Macintyre writes the history of a legendary secret agent who influenced the course of the Cold War.
