Spies

22 November, 7pm

Ben Macintyre, author of Agent Zigzag and Operation Mincemeat, and Jimmy Burns author of Papa Spy, discuss their latest books and the nature of spies, both in World War Two and now - their traits, moral codes and the difference that they make. Did the rules change during the Cold War? Are MI5 and MI6 today our guardians, or something else? Alex Von Tunzelmann, author of forthcoming Red Heat, about the Cold War in the West Indies, interviews the authors. This event is in association with Waterstone's High St Kensington.
