The story is a blend of imagination and compelling facts, describing the relationship between Winston Churchill, Neville Chamberlain and a young Soviet spy Guy Burgess. This novel is so intense you need to constantly remind yourself that this is a work of fact and fiction. Reading it was like taking a trip into one of history darkest moments. ( )
