In his grey suit and tie, he looked like any other Soviet citizen. The bag alone was mildly conspicuous, printed with the red logo of Safeway, the British supermarket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe man was a spy. A senior KGB officer, for more than a decade he had supplied his British spymasters with a stream of priceless secrets from deep within the Soviet intelligence machine. No spy had done more to damage the KGB. The Safeway bag was a signal: to activate his escape plan to be smuggled out of Soviet Russia. So began one of the boldest and most extraordinary episodes in the history of spying. Ben Macintyre reveals a tale of espionage, betrayal and raw courage that changed the course of the Cold War forever. . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'THE BEST TRUE SPY STORY I HAVE EVER READ' JOHN LE CARRE \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\/Width\/Depth (mm): \u003c\/strong\u003e140\/138\/35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm: \u003c\/strong\u003eCD-Audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47599246868707,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1701\/6275\/files\/9780241375723.jpg?v=1712669861","url":"https:\/\/www.harbourbookshop.co.uk\/products\/9780241375723","provider":"The Harbour Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
