Agent Sonya
Ursula Kuczynski Burton was a spymaster, saboteur, bomb-maker and secret agent. Codenamed 'Agent Sonya', her story has never been told - until now. Born to a German Jewish family, as Ursula grew, so did the Nazis' power. As a fanatical opponent of the fascism that ravaged her homeland, Ursula was drawn to communism as a young woman, motivated by the promise of a fair and peaceful society. From planning an assassination attempt on Hitler in Switzerland, to spying on the Japanese in Manchuria, to preventing nuclear war (or so she believed) by stealing the science of atomic weaponry from Britain to give to Moscow, Ursula conducted some of the most dangerous espionage operations of the twentieth century. In Agent Sonya, Britain's most acclaimed historian Ben Macintyre delivers an exhilarating tale that's as fast-paced as any fiction. It is the incredible story of one spy's life, a life that would alter the course of history...

Agent Sonya, Ljudbok
England, 1942. En elegant hemmafru och trebarnsmamma lämnar sitt hem för att ta sin sedvanliga cykeltur. Men istället för att styra mot stadens butiker, susar hon genom Oxfordshires landsbygd för att samla in vetenskapliga hemligheter från en av landets mest framstående kärnfysiker. Hemligheter som hon sedan vidarebefordrar till Sovjetunionens spionhögkvarter via en radiosändare som hon gömmer på sitt utedass.Kvinnan som den pittoreska, brittiska byn kände som Mrs Burton – sinnebilden av en kärleksfull, brittisk hemmafru – var i verkligheten tysk judinna, hängiven kommunist, överste i röda armén och en förstklassigt tränad spion. Från att i Schweiz ha planerat ett mordförsök på Hitler, till att ha spionerat på japanerna i Manchuriet och hjälpt Sovjetunionen att bygga sitt första kärnvapen, genomförde Sonya några av de farligaste spionageoperationerna under 1900-talet. Hennes historia har aldrig berättats – förrän nu.Ben Macintyre är en av Storbritanniens mest erkända historiker och författare till miljonsäljande titlar som En spion bland vänner, SAS och Spion och förrädare. I Agent Sonya berättar han den sanna historien om världshistoriens främsta kvinnliga spion. Det är en fängslande levnadsteckning över en kvinnas liv – ett liv som följde kommunismens uppgång och fall, och som förändrade historiens gång.
