A Spy's London

A historical tour of London landmarks for anyone fascinated by intrigue and espionage . . . Includes maps and photos.   James Bond may be fictional—but London is indeed the espionage capital of the world. This book takes us through the city's espionage history, with evocative photos and compelling stories and observations about 136 landmarks, conveniently organized into manageable walking tours for those living in or visiting the city.   Go behind the façades of ordinary buildings to learn more about clandestine operations: from the modest hotel suite where an eager Red Army colonel poured out his secrets to a team of British and American intelligence officers, to the royal residence where one of the most slippery Soviet moles was at home for years, and the London home where an MP plotting to appease Hitler was arrested on his front steps in 1940.
