He Sent 42 Spies to Their Deaths. MI6 Never Suspected Him.

He Sent 42 Spies to Their Deaths. MI6 Never Suspected Him.

Berlin. May 31st, 1961. 2:47 AM. George Blake sits in a safe house in Kreuzberg, knowing that in six hours he will betray twenty-nine British agents to their deaths.
He's already made the decision.
George Blake wasn't a Soviet plant or a foreign recruit. He was one of MI6's most trusted officers — a decorated war veteran, a survivor of Korean captivity, a man the British establishment considered one of their own. For seven years, he passed the identities of every British agent in Eastern Europe directly to the KGB. Forty-two men. Arrested, tortured, shot.
And MI6 never suspected him.
This is the story of the most devastating betrayal in Cold War history. How it happened. Why Blake did it. And how he escaped from Wormwood Scrubs and lived free in Moscow until age ninety-eight.
