Spring 1958: a mysterious individual believed to be high up in the Polish secret service
began passing Soviet secrets to the West. His name was Michal Goleniewski and he
remains one of the most important, least known and most misunderstood spies of the Cold
War. Even his death is shrouded in mystery and he has been written out of the history of
Cold War espionage – until now. Tim Tate draws on a wealth of previously-unpublished
primary source documents to tell the dramatic true story of the best spy the west ever lost
and how Goleniewski exposed hundreds of KGB agents operating undercover in the West;
from George Blake and the ‘Portland Spy Ring’, to a senior Swedish Air Force and NATO
officer and a traitor inside the Israeli government. The information he produced devastated
intelligence services on both sides of the Iron Curtain.Bringing together love and loyalty,
courage and treachery, betrayal, greed and, ultimately, insanity, Tim Tate tells the
extraordinary true story of one of the most significant spies of the Cold War,
