Stalin's American Spy: Noel Field, Allen Dulles   and the East European Show-Trials
"Stalin's American Spyis a compelling piece of work. It is historically rich, and yet moves along like a novel. Noel Field can be seen as an emblem of the ideology war of the '30s and its lost history. Moving and impressive." -- Robert Dover, author ofLearning from the Secret Past: Cases inBritish Intelligence History"This is the first truly authentic, comprehensive and factual analysis  in English of the fascinating life of Noel Field, one of the most mysterious figures on Stalin's chessboard of spies, agents and stooges. The author's gripping account is more than  a personal biography of a legendary figure. This book is also  essential reading for understanding the world of Stalinist show trials and key chapters of the Cold War in Europe." -- Paul Lendvai, journalist and author ofHungary: Between Democracy and AuthoritarianismandAustria: New Challenges, Old Demons"This is a superb and original book in a much under-researched area. A fine work of history."--Gerry Hughes, Lecturer in Military History, Aberystwyth University, and author ofBritain, Germany and the Cold War: the search for a European Détente, 1949-1967
