Krátky popis
The dramatic story of a man who stood at the center of British
intelligence operations, the ultimate spymaster of World War II:
Thomas Kendrick",A remarkable piece of historical detective work. .
.. Now, thanks to this groundbreaking book, the result of years of
meticulous research and expert analysis, Kendrick's role as one of
the great spymasters of the twentieth century can be
revealed.",-Saul David, Daily Telegraph Thomas Kendrick (1881-1972)
was central to the British Secret Service from its beginnings
through to the Second World War. Under the guise of ",British
Passport Officer,", he ran spy networks across Europe, facilitated
the escape of Austrian Jews, and later went on to set up the ",M
Room,", a listening operation which elicited information of the
same significance and scope as Bletchley Park.Yet the work of
Kendrick, and its full significance, remained largely unknown.
Helen Fry draws on extensive original research to tell the story of
this remarkable British intelligence officer. Kendrick's life sheds
light on the development of MI6 itself-he was one of the few men to
serve Britain across three wars, two of which while working for the
British Secret Service.Fry explores the private and public sides of
Kendrick, revealing him to be the epitome of the ",English
gent",-easily able to charm those around him and scrupulously
secretive.
