Go Spy the Land: Being the Adventures of Ik8 of the British Secret Service
Author: George Alexander Hill
Format: Paperback
Number of Pages: 320
The latest in Biteback's best-selling Dialogue Espionage Classics series of rediscovered spy masterpieces, Go Spy the Land is George Alexander Hill's account of perilous adventure in pre- and post-Bolshevik Russia, where he ran missions as an agent in the employ of Britain's nascent secret services. Far from the covert, technology-driven intelligence gathering of the modern espionage world, Hill's was an age of swashbuckling, swordsticks and secret assignations with deadly woman spies. Originally published in 1933 and out of print for many years, Hill's rip-roaring narrative is more reminiscent of John Buchan's The Thirty-Nine Steps than of the world of gloomy secrets occupied by John le Carre's George Smiley and is a portrait of an age unfathomable to those growing up against a backdrop of Prism, Wikileaks and cyber espionage.
