Agent Sonya : Moscow's most daring wartime spy

Macintyre, Ben 1963- (author.).

Summary: Ben Macintyre's latest true-life spy story about the woman code-named "Sonya," one of the most important female spies in history. Hunted by the Chinese, the Japanese, the Nazis, MI5, MI6, and the FBI, she evaded all of them, and survived the brutal Soviet purges as well. With access to Sonya's papers and her intelligence files from multiple countries, Macintyre has conjured a thrilling secret history of a landmark agent, a true original who altered the course of the Cold War and helped plunge the world into a nuclear standoff that would last for decades.
