{"product_id":"9780300260168","title":"A Spy Amongst Us","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe true story of Daniel Defoe and the dirty tricks which helped bring Scotland into union with England. In 1706, Edinburgh was on the brink of a popular uprising. Men and women took to the streets to protest the planned union with England, fearing the end of Scottish sovereignty. But unbeknownst to the mob, a spy was in their midst - the English writer Daniel Defoe, now bankrupt and thrice pilloried, had turned a government agent. Marc Mierowsky tells the dramatic story of Defoe and his fellow spies as they sabotaged the Scottish independence movement from the inside. Together they disseminated propaganda and built a network of operatives from London to the upper Highlands, providing the English government with up-to-the-minute intelligence and monitoring its adversaries' every move.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marc Mierowsky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56711536312698,"sku":"9780300260168","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/files\/9780300260168_55c5940a-4852-47f5-bdea-8b705dc7e27b.jpg?v=1779903856","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.co.uk\/products\/9780300260168","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
