"He was one of the most effective agents ever to work for Soviet Russia. His fingerprints can be found on one world-changing event after another of the first half of the twentieth century. But who was Otto Katz? To the FBI he was an 'extremely dangerous man'. The British Secret Service wondered if he was the 'Director of all Communist policy in the West' ... Jonathan Miles goes in search of the real Otto Katz -- a brilliant, daring charmer, a double-dealer with an unquestionable taste for the finer things in life who nonetheless served one of history's darkest masters -- Joseph Stalin. Using recently released FBI, MI5 and Czech files, Jonathan Miles has created an action-packed story of the life (or lives) of one of the world's most intriguing, influential and successful spies"--Jacket.
