2020., Adult, Signal Call No: Bio M155a Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: In 1942, in a quiet village in the leafy English Cotswolds, a thin, elegant woman lived in a small cottage with her three children and her husband, who worked as a machinist nearby. Ursula Burton was friendly but reserved, and spoke English with a slight foreign accent. By all accounts, she seemed to be living a simple, unassuming life. Her neighbors in the village knew little about her. They didnât know that she was a high-ranking Soviet intelligence officer. They didnât know that her husband was also a spy, or that she was running powerful agents across Europe. Behind the facade of her picturesque life, Burton was a dedicated Communist, a Soviet colonel, and a veteran agent, gathering the scientific secrets that would enable the Soviet Union to build the bomb. This true-life spy story is a masterpiece about the woman code-named âSonya.â Over the course of her career, she was hunted by the Chinese, the Japanese, the Nazis, MI5, MI6, and the FBIâand she evaded them all. Her story reflects the great ideological clash of the twentieth centuryâbetween Communism, Fascism, and Western democracyâand casts new light on the spy battles and shifting allegiances of our own times.

By Sisman, Adamc2015., Adult, Alfred A Knopf Canada Call No: Bio C314s Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Adam Sisman reveals the man behind the bestselling persona in this authorized biography, shining a spotlight on David John Moore Cornwell, an expert at hiding in plain sight. Of course, the pseudonym John le Carré has helped to keep the public at a distance. During the 1950s and the 1960s, Cornwell worked for the Security Service and the Secret Intelligence Service, and began writing novels using his now famous name. Sisman probes Cornwell's unusual upbringing, abandoned by his mother at the age of only five and raised by his con man father (when not in prison), and explores his background in British intelligence, as well as his struggle to become a writer, and his personal life. Sisman has had unfettered access to le Carré's private archive, talked to the most important people in his life, and interviewed the man himself at length"--Provided by publisher.
