MTB: Ben Macintyre - The Spy and The Traitor

Left Bank Books and Maryville Talks Books welcome bestselling author and journalist Ben Macintyre, who will sign and discuss his new book, The Spy and the Traitor: The Greatest Espionage Story of the Cold War!

This event is free and open to the public, but RSVPs are required. Proof of purchase of The Spy and the Traitor from Left Bank Books will be required to enter the signing line.

The celebrated author of Double Cross and Rogue Heroes returns with his greatest spy story yet, a thrilling tale of Oleg Gordievsky, the Russian whose secret work helped hasten the end of the Cold War. Unfolding the three-way gamesmanship between America, Britain, and the Soviet Union, and culminating in the gripping cinematic beat-by-beat of Gordievskys nail-biting escape from Moscow in 1985, Ben Macintyres latest may be his best yet. Like the greatest novels of John le Carré, it brings readers deep into a world of treachery and betrayal, where the lines bleed between the personal and the professional had the power to change the future of nations.
