Giles Milton's fast-packed account of Britain's attempts to sabotage Lenin's revolution reads like a madcap thriller… Milton has synthesised and filleted a mass of material – old memoirs, official archives and newly released intelligence files – to produce a rollicking tale… which explains the long war against Russia with verve, wit and colour. It reads like fiction, but it is, astonishingly, history.

Other text

1917, post-Russian Revolution, an unlikely and eccentric band of British spies are smuggled into newly Soviet Russia to thwart Lenin's plan to destroy British rule in India, as a precursor to toppling the democracies of the West. The spies, under Mansfield Cumming, were the unsung founders of the present-day MI6.
