A British Citizen Spying for Russia on Nazi Germany

This is the fascinating inside story of a British man who was recruited by the Russians to spy on Germany during World War 2 from neutral Switzerland. Foote ran his own network, and provides details on operational procedures along with stories of hiding from German officers and Swiss police, countering double agents, transmitting war information to the Russian "Centre," his capture, his interrogations in Russia upon release, and finally his escape back to Britain.

As a spy, Foote passed along vital information for the campaign against the Nazis, but slowly realized that Russia was as great a threat to freedom (and to his personal safety) as were the Nazis. First published in 1949, this is a terrific classic addition to a WWII or espionage enthusiast's library.
