The Spy Who Disappeared: Diary of a Secret Mission to Russian Central Asia in 1918 - Couverture souple
Synopsis
An autobiographical account of a secret mission to Russian Central Asia in 1918. The author, who took the name Ronald Sinclair, was in fact the "missing" British political agent Reginald Teague-Jones, who before his death made available for publication his secret diaries telling of his mission to Baku, a practically unknown theatre of war in World War I. The author, acting alone and aged only 29, was responsible for organizing and maintaining the resistance to Turkish and Bolshevik takeover of the crucial railway linking Turkey and Russia to Afghanistan. After the collapse of the White Russian Armies, Teague-Jones withdrew to Constantinople and was forced to change his name to Sinclair, which he retained for the rest of his life, in fear of Russian retribution.

SYNOPSIS: Seventy years ago, to escape the vengeance of the Bolshevik death squads, a British intelligence officer, Captain Reginald Teague-Jones, was forced to change his name and disappear. For, having been sent on a secret mission to Transcaucasia, h found himself accused of one of the most notorious incidents of the war between Bolsheviks, "White Russians" and Turks--the murder of the 26 Baku Commissars. Bolshevik heroes, they included one of Lenin's closest friends. Until recently, it was assumed that Teague-Jones was long dead, but after the death in 1988 of a man named Ronald Sinclair, the truth emerged at last: Ronald Sinclair was Teague-Jones; he had lived into his hundredth year and not even his closest friends had had an inkling of who he really was. The Spy Who Disappeared is the story of his extraordinary mission and its tragic climax. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. N° de réf. du vendeur 003601
