Summary:
"In 'Agent Sonya', Ben Macintyre reveals one of the last great untold spy stories of the 20th century - the woman hidden in plain sight who set the stage for the Cold War. In 1945, in a quiet village in the leafy English Cotswolds, a thin, elegant woman lived in a small cottage with her three children and her husband, who worked as a machinist nearby. Ursula Burton was friendly but reserved, and spoke with a slight foreign accent. She seemed to be living a simple, unassuming life. Her neighbors in the village knew little about her. They didn't know that she was a high-ranking Soviet intelligence officer. They didn't know that her husband was also a spy, or that she was running powerful agents across Europe. Behind the facade of her picturesque life, Burton was a dedicated communist, a Red Army colonel, and a veteran spymaster, gathering the scientific secrets that would enable the Soviet Union to build the bomb. This true-life spy story is a masterpiece about the woman code-named "Sonya." Over the course of her astonishing espionage career, she was hunted by the Chinese government, the Japanese secret police, the Nazis, MI5, MI6, and the FBI-and she evaded them all. Her story reflects the great ideological battles of the twentieth century -- between communism, fascism, and Western democracy -- and casts new light on the spy intrigues and shifting allegiances of our own times."--From publisher.
