In this extraordinary volume, first published in 1981, British
journalist Chapman Pincher dissected the whole of the Soviet penetration
of the western world during the twentieth century, helped unmask the
Cambridge Five, and outlined his suspicions that former MI5 chief Peter
Hollis was a Soviet super-spy at the heart of a ring of double-agents,
poisoning the Secret Intelligence Service from within.
Chapman Pincher began a career in journalism, joining the Daily
Express as a science and defense correspondent at the end of the Second
World War. He was regarded as one of the UK's finest investigative
reporters of the twentieth century. He died in 2014.
