Spring 1958: a mysterious individual believed to be high up in the
Polish secret service began passing Soviet secrets to the West. His
name was Michal Goleniewski and he remains one of the most
important, yet least known and most misunderstood spies of the Cold
War. Even his death is shrouded in mystery and he has been written
out of the history of Cold War espionage - until now. Tim Tate
draws on a wealth of previously-unpublished primary source
documents to tell the dramatic true story of the best spy the west
ever lost - of how Goleniewski exposed hundreds of KGB agents
operating undercover in the West; from George Blake and the
'Portland Spy Ring', to a senior Swedish Air Force and NATO officer
and a traitor inside the Israeli government. The information he
produced devastated intelligence services on both sides of the Iron
Curtain. Bringing together love and loyalty, courage and treachery,
betrayal, greed and, ultimately, insanity, here is the
extraordinary true story of one of the most significant but little
known spies of the Cold War. Acclaim for The Spy Who Was Left Out
in the Cold: 'Totally gripping . . . a masterpiece. Tate lifts the
lid on one of the most important and complex spies of the Cold War,
who passed secrets to the West and finally unmasked traitor George
Blake.' HELEN FRY, author of MI9: A History of the Secret Service
for Escape and Evasion in World War Two 'A wonderful and at times
mind-boggling account of a bizarre and almost forgotten spy - right
up to the time when he's living undercover in Queens, New York and
claiming to be the last of the Romanoffs.' SIMON KUPER, author of
The Happy Traitor 'A highly readable and thoroughly researched
account of one of the Cold War's most intriguing and tragic spy
stories.' OWEN MATTHEWS, author of An Impeccable Spy
