Publisher's Synopsis

Born a “geordie," a native of Britain's Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Willie Fisher became one of the KGB's most celebrated agents. Sent to spy in New York, where he ran the network that included notorious atom spies Julius Rosenberg and Ted Hall, he was later arrested and traded for Gary Powers, the American pilot whose U-2 spy plane was shot down over Soviet Union airspace.

Tracing Willie's story from the most unlikely of beginnings in Newcastle to Moscow, New York, and back again, The Kremlin's Geordie Spy is a singular and absorbing true story of Cold War espionage to rival anything in fiction.
