Maggiori informazioni sul libro

John Cairncross stands out among the Cambridge Spies due to his unique motivations, driven by an anti-Fascist stance rather than a commitment to Communism. His wartime role at Bletchley Park involved passing critical documents to the Soviets, impacting significant events like the Battle of Kursk. With access to Cairncross's papers and insights from those close to him, Geoff Andrews reveals a multifaceted individual who transitioned from espionage to a life as a foreign correspondent and academic in Italy, all while grappling with the shadows of his past.
