A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

For two years David Macpherson worked for the UNHCR in a Tibetan refugee camp in Nepal. He has continued to take a lively interest in the welfare of the Tibetan people. His book Nomad is a fictional account of some of what he learned from the refugees. He later became a history teacher and then a headmaster but now fills his time with writing historical novels about Dorset. Defenders of Mai-dun about the Roman invasion on Dorset, The Black Box about Monmouth's Rebellion and the Bloody Assizes and A Zigzag Path about smuggling are all set in Dorset and are available from Amazon and on Kindle. ALL Lies is his latest book and is based on the extraordinary story of the Portland Spy Ring. His next project is the story of building the Roman Aqueduct in Dorchester.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In January 1961 the Special Branch in arrested five people in London for spying. Two English, two New Zealanders and one Canadian made up what became known as the Portland Spy Ring. Many of the details of the espionage are still officially secret. The story told in All Lies is an account of how it might have come about that Britain’s most secret naval facility, the Underwater Weapons Establishment in Portland Harbour in Dorset, was targeted and penetrated by a Russian spy who is recognized as one of the most successful Soviet agents of all time. It is also the story of how two ordinary British subjects were suborned into betraying their country. For this they paid a heavy price.
