Raves and Reviews
"A superbly researched and groundbreaking account of Soviet espionage in the Thirties. Remarkable."
– The Telegraph (London) [One of the Best Books of the Year in 2018]
"[A] big, ambitious book. There was a chink of light towards the end of Yeltsin’s time, but Putin slammed the door shut on researchers. Few have prized it open again, even an inch. Lokhova is one of those who have—and that is the strength of her book. It contains original material in a genre of retreads."
– The Times (London)
"Well-researched and often breathless. An interesting glimpse into a hitherto obscure Soviet spy ring."
– Kirkus Reviews
"An eye-opening debut. Lokhova delivers a comprehensive account of a crucial yet overlooked chapter in the history of Soviet espionage."
– Publishers Weekly
"Lokhova looks in detail at the role of Stanislav Shumovsky who in 1931 enrolled as a student at the US MIT and helped to acquire the secrets of the Manhattan Project. Well worth a read."
– Iain Dale Recommends
