Author: Lockhart, R. H. Bruce
The fascinating, bestselling story of R.H. Bruce Lockhart, the British Consul-General to Moscow during the Russian Revolution. Lockhart was actively engaged in espionage and anti-Bolshevik plots (like freeing the Czar, for example) while he was actually Britain's first envoy to the Bolshevik regime. His illicit activities landed him in prison in the Kremlin. He managed to get out of Russia, however, in an exchange of agents between the countries.
Think John le Carre writing during the aftermath of WWI... only this is the real McCoy!
