Intelligence MI6 Soviet Union Prisons

Contents include:
"When George Blake, a senior officer in the British Secret
Intelligence Service, was sentenced in 1961 to 42 years'
imprisonment for spying for the KGB, the judge said he had undone
most of the work of British intelligence since the war. When
Blake escaped from Wormwood Scrubs prison five and a half years
later, the British press said it was the escape of the century
and speculated that the KGB masterminded it...When some of
Blake's fellow prisoners who had helped him escape later wrote
books on their role, Blake himself kept silent...Now...George
Blake has decided to speak." (Publishers text)
