Ironmaze: The Western Secret Services and the Bolsheviks

By Gordon Brook-Shepherd. The fascinating and, until now, untold story of the Allied Secret Services attempts to topple the Bolsheviks during Lenin’s first years in power. The story is told from all sides, with a remarkable, ironic twist: the Bolsheviks were always one step ahead and the book details how Lenin was able to use the British Establishment for his own ends.
