Product Description
Operation Kronstadt not only reveals the early days of intelligence services but also uncovers a truly dramatic story from the Russian Revolution involving a daring rescue attempt and a mission impossible against the best defended naval target in Russia.
By May 1919, when the power struggle between former Tsarists and Bolsheviks hangs in the balance, the only British agent in Russia is trapped and in mortal danger. Mansfield Cumming (alias the first C ) dreams up an audacious probably suicidal plan to rescue him, and a young naval officer is sent with a specially selected team into the jaws of the Soviet fleet.
This is the remarkable true story of the spy Paul Dukes (the only MI6 officer to be knighted for work in the field) and Gus Agar, whose extraordinary escapade won him the Victoria Cross.
Praise for Operation Kronstadt:
Ferguson s account of both sets of operations is exciting and his enthusiasm is infectious. Sunday Telegraph(London)
A tale of adventure, honor, and raw courage quite as exciting as anything found in fiction The Daily Mail
