This is one of the great untold stories of the twentieth century.
It is a first-hand account of a mission by an SAS soldier sent
behind the Iron Curtain by MI6 to find someone who didn't
necessarily want to be found and how, on a follow-up mission, he
found himself manoeuvring against a mysterious KGB officer - one
Major Vladimir Putin and a murder plot by Kremlin hardliners. If
the plot had succeeded, it would have given the Russians the excuse
they were looking for to roll out the tanks across East Germany,
the Berlin Wall would not have fallen - and the map of Europe would
look very different today. It tells of roof top chases, the
interrogation of terrorists to gain vital information, a beautiful,
East German female (who he suspected of being a Stasi spy),
betrayal by people he trusted, an escape through forests pursued by
enemy agents and ending in a climactic gun battle at Colditz
castle, formerly used by the Soviets as a psychiatric hospital to
detain dissidents. In James Bond novels, it is MI6 operators who
carry out this type of work, but in reality, when facing a
committed foe in an isolated and deadly environment, the
intelligence agencies call upon members of the British Special
Forces. This is the first insider account of how UK operators
working undercover, do what needs to be done in order to protect
the UK's interests abroad - revealing their hidden hand in world
events.
