Ron Evans was probably the most notorious Soviet spy of British
nationality working out of Scandinavia in the post-War era. Here,
for the first time, the full story of the Ron Evans spy case is
told in all its drama and excitement as it occurred in the
mid-1960s. Whilst on the one hand Ron Evans was a leading radio
engineer with a brilliant intellect, working on sensitive defence
contracts; on the other, he was a determined and deft conspirator,
manipulating a wide circle of oddly assorted people to achieve his
illicit ends. KGB and MI6 agents play a prominent part in this
account of seething conflict, an assassination attempt, and death;
and only now, in deference to the spirit of the Thirty Year rule
and its equivalent application on the international scale, is it
possible to reveal the true facts behind this Cold War drama. Many
nationalities and colourful individuals, including diplomats and an
eccentric Finnish aristocrat, were involved in the complex intrigue
surrounding Ron Evans' underhand activities. The author, who
unwittingly found himself in conflict with the Soviet agent, was by
a curious set of circumstances led into the role of spy-hunter,
which eventually led to the arrest and conviction of Ron Evans. But
that was not the end of the story. Worse was to follow. Due to an
unfortunate set of events, an MI6 agent who was implicated in a
counter-plot, found that his cover was blown, and following his
capture and arrest by the authorities of a neutral power, Britain's
entire Scandinavian intelligence network came crashing down.
Despite the seriousness of the subject matter the author's
observations are often filled with ironic comedy and ridicule.
