Happy traitor. Cooper S.

British intelligence officer George Blake worked for the Soviet Union. In 1961, he was sentenced to 42 years in prison for transmitting the KGB data on all the Western operations in which he participated, and the names of hundreds of British agents who worked for the “iron curtain”. This was the longest time for espionage, once appointed by the British court.

Based on personal interviews with Blake, his own research and materials, the journalist and writer Simon Cooper traces the path of his hero from a modest teenager, courier of the Netherlands underground , during the Second World War to the prisoner who made a sensational escape from the Warmwood-Skrats prison and graduated from his days at the summer house at the age of 98.
