A remarkable story of a British spy in Bolshevik Petrograd and a Royal Navy Lieutenant sent to rescue him.

The book starts slow, and then builds and builds up to a genuinely thrilling climax.

What success Agar and Dukes had was due to their own bravery and resourcefulness, because this book provides a harsh portrait of the British Secret Intelligence service, more concerned with appearances and future funding than operational support.

Like many secondary history books, the flow of events and information has been re-arranged to produce the desired narrative, a continual building of tension. The real value comes from the author being an intelligence agency insider who indicts his own profession.
