## Description

Agent Sonya: Moscow's Most Daring Wartime Spy [Macintyre, Ben] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Agent Sonya: Moscow's Most Daring Wartime Spy

Review: An excellent biography! - Ben Macintyre has done it, again! Agent Sonya - lover, mother, soldier, spy - is an extremely good biography. Macintyre has written several biographies about famous spies. And Agent Sonya fits well into this series. This is the story of the female spy Ursula Kuczynski. And what a story! Like the writer’s other books about espionage and spies, it is thrilling - and can be read like a thriller. This is biography writing at its best. The writer paints the big canvas: Here is drama, passion, fear, paranoia, deception, danger. We are presented to a large numbers of individuals, one more intriguing and fascinating than the other. The book contains accurately written history, in depth descriptions of people’s psychology, all put together in a most readable way. My best compliment: A good read! I highly recommend this book.
Review: Amazing story - Excellent research and a cast of compelling characters. Ursula is brilliant, brave and resourceful and a woman of her convictions. However, I found the writing rather plodding and long winded. I think the book could have used more rigorous editing. I would still recommend the book for the great story and the painstaking research.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another triumph for Mr Macintyre
*by D***O on February 9, 2021*

I have read most of Macintyre’s books and they are all gripping. I found Agent Sonya a little more difficult to get into but once I did it did not disappoint. I have read reviews that have criticized the book for its subject matter. How can we relate to a Soviet spy? How can we feel anything for someone who worked for Stalin against the West? I think that is an over simplification. I tried to put myself in the shoes of Ursula Maria Kuczynski, a young German Jew horrified at the rise of fascism in Europe in the 20’s and 30’s. Like Ursula I would like to think that I would do all I could to resist and to fight. The natural vehicle for Ursula to travel in to conduct that fight was the communist party and she joined in 1926, just as Hitler was rising to prominence. European communists fought fascism in Spain, Germany, the Far East and Eastern Europe and were a major part of the French resistance. Ursula becomes a committed communist (and anti fascist) and an accomplished asset as we follow her from Germany to China and thereafter to Switzerland and finally to the UK. This is where the story becomes a little muddy for many. Yes, Ursula spied for Stalin, a man as despotic and evil as Hitler. But at that time Churchill and Roosevelt were working with the Soviet leader and we were allies. Ursula spied against the Nazi’s for the Soviets while in the UK but she also helped to infiltrate communist spies into the US atomic weapons program. In doing so she helped the Soviets to develop their own atomic bomb. Obviously this puts her beyond the pale for many people but the world was a different place 60 and 70 years ago. Who knows, without Ursula maybe we would not have had a world where both sides of the Cold War had the means to totally annihilate the other? Maybe in that scenario, without the promise of “mutually assured destruction”, a Nixon or a Reagan or, heaven forbid, a Trump may have been tempted to wipe out half the planet. We’ll never know. A great read, chock full of exceptionally interesting characters like Agnes Smedley, Richard Sorge and Sandro Rado and another triumph for Mr Macintyre.
