Agent Sonya: Moscow's Most Daring Wartime Spy Free Audiobook Download by Ben Macintyre

This is the story of Anna Chapman, a glamorous young Russian woman who won a spot in an elite but all-female spy school while working as a model. After graduating she was recruited by British intelligence and sent to London as a 'nobody' working as a waitress in order to establish false identities and gather evidence on Russian spies working in Britain. This book is written with Anna's influence throughout the narrative and holds a wealth of information about life within Russia during the Cold War.

As the years passed, it wasn't just the power of the Soviets that was eroding. Moscow's old social order was breaking down too, and Russia itself was turning into something of an international backwater.

For a spy, it can't get any better than this. Ben Macintyre tells the untold story of how Vladimir Putin's KGB sent an attractive young woman to seduce and betray key members of Britain and America's secret service, turning them into Moscow's most effective agents for decades.

Agent Sonya was one of the Soviet Union's most daring and accomplished spies, who set herself up as a British secretary in London during the Second World War. She successfully infiltrated the British embassy in Berlin before being forced to flee for her life after a botched escape. Her liaisons with high-ranking Nazis, such as Albert Speer, Heinrich Himmler, and Rudolf Hess, helped build bridges to the Nazi regime and later aided in building connections to Soviet intelligence.

Agent Sonya is the true story of a daring Soviet agent who fought to change Russia in the darkest of times. The memoir is particularly poignant, especially in these days of tension between Russia and the West.

This is an amazing true story of how one woman's life became a high-stakes game of deception, betrayal and double-crossing on the edges of Germany's Third Reich under the leadership of Hitler.
