  The shocking true story of a young woman forced into spying for Russia under the KBG. What would make you agree to work as a KGB agent? Love, blackmail, desperation? For this young woman, there is only one thing that could make her agree to a life of service under the brutal regime that she hates. They took her baby. So begins the most compelling and revealing story about spying you’re ever likely to hear. Struggling through a life of poverty, a young woman finds herself in the relative safety of employment as a chambermaid. But everything changes when she falls for a man who betrays her. Pregnant and vulnerable, she is blackmailed into life as an agent by a brutal totalitarian state, one which never cared about the rights of any individual, especially women. With no interest in helping communism, she becomes driven by an obsessive desire to track down her stolen child. 
  From sleeping with the enemy to smearing the Soviet Union’s oldest foes. From infiltrating the upper echelons of London high society, to hunting runaway Nazis, this is the true and secret life of an undercover Russian agent inside Britain. Finally free, and safely undercover, The Quiet Spy strips away all the veils of secrecy to vividly reconstruct her bizarre life of danger, love and intrigue.

  The Yank - The True Story of a...

  1975: A young Irish-American man joins an elite US Marine unit to get the most intensive military training possible—then joins the Irish Republican Army, during the days of some of the bloodiest fighting ever in the Irish-British conflict. 
   
   
   
  In a powerful, brutally honest recounting of his experience, John Crawley details, first, the grueling challenges of his Marine Corps training, then how he put his hard-earned skills to use back in Ireland in service of the Provos. It is a story that will see him running guns with notorious American mobster—and secret IRA fundraiser—Whitey Bulger; running, under cover of night, from safe house to safe house in the Irish countryside, one step ahead of British troops; being captured, imprisoned, and being part of a mass escape attempt; fending off a recruitment offer from the CIA; and being one of the masterminds behind a campaign to take out London's electrical system. 
   
   
    
  Along the way, Crawley is blisteringly candid about the memorable people he worked with, including behind-the-scenes portrayals of revered IRA leader Martin McGuinness, and of the psychopathic Whitey Bulger, as well as others in the Boston IRA support network. There are vivid portraits of colleagues and enemies, and Crawley is unflinching in his commentary on IRA leadership and their tactics, both military and political.
