My Family and Other Spies
Alistair Wood
As a boy, Alistair Wood lived within the (very high) walls of a Secret Intelligence Service - or MI6 - training camp, surrounded by some of the most senior characters in SIS history. After all, he was family. His mother was one of a handful of women to have operated behind the lines in post-war Berlin. His father, once one of Britain's most highly-regarded intelligence officers, was an absent and perplexing figure, the reasons for his sudden departure from the Service still classified to this day. But Wood's search for the truth took him on a journey more remarkable than even he had imagined. This title is a gripping exploration of an extraordinary, scarcely believable life, a globe-trotting spy story that spans a half century from the gathering storm before the Second World War to the fall of Communism, and a son's reckoning with the secrets of the past.
