A true Cold War espionage thriller set around the ultra-secret Berlin Tunnel
- where British officer George Blake must run a high-stakes double cross to maintain his cover.
The ultra-secret " Berlin Tunnel" was dug in the mid-1950s from the American sector in southwest Berlin & ran nearly a quarter-mile into the Soviet sector, allowing the CIA & the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) to tap into critical KGB & Soviet military underground telecommunication lines.
George Blake, a trusted officer working in a highly sensitive job with SIS, was privy to every aspect of the plan & provided seemingly invaluable intelligence about Soviet capabilities & intentions. But in 1961, a Polish defector shocked the CIA & SIS by revealing that Blake was a double agent who had disclosed plans for the tunnel to the KGB before it was even built.
In a work of remarkable investigative reporting, Steve Vogel now reveals that the information picked up by the CIA & SIS was more valuable than even they believed.
