About this product
Product Information
The incredible story behind the greatest female spy in history from one of Britain's best historians, now in paperback Ursula Kuczynski Burton was a spymaster, saboteur, bomb-maker and secret agent. Codenamed 'Agent Sonya', her story has never been told - until now. Born to a German Jewish family, as Ursula grew, so did the Nazis' power. As a fanatical opponent of the fascism that ravaged her homeland, Ursula was drawn to communism as a young woman, motivated by the promise of a fair and peaceful society. From planning an assassination attempt on Hitler in Switzerland, to spying on the Japanese in Manchuria, to preventing nuclear war (or so she believed) by stealing the science of atomic weaponry from Britain to give to Moscow, Ursula conducted some of the most dangerous espionage operations of the twentieth century. In Agent Sonya, Britain's most acclaimed historian Ben Macintyre delivers an exhilarating tale that's as fast-paced as any fiction. It is the incredible story of one spy's life, a life that would alter the course of history . . .Product Identifiers

Engrossing and interesting throughout!
This is an interesting and fascinating story about the story of Ursula Kuczynski, a German, born and raised in Berlin. She becomes a Communist as the result of the historical and dramatic happenings that occurred in the 1920's and 1930's. She joins the Communist party and progresses in the party and its cause. She then becomes a spy for the Communists. Despite having a husband and two small children in the next few years, she continues to be a spy. It is a dangerous and risky business and as the events in world history gets worse, her position becomes ever more dangerous. She knows what will happen if she is caught! She could be tortured, put in prison or even killed! But she strongly believes in her cause and is a spy for many years. Read all about her failures, successes, losses and heart aches. It is the best spy book I have ever read. Look at all the other books in this series - they are well worth collecting and reading. They also make excellent gifts for other people if you are stuck for ideas.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A gripping read that will have you on the edge of your seat.
If you like true life spy stories that are based on fact, not fiction, you are going to love this book. Ben Macintyre has a wealth of knowledge about the security services here in the UK and abroad, especially Russia. His books are meticulously researched. A brilliant gripping read. Would highly recommend.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
