Have a seat at the right hand of the most momentous events in our history. Saturday 1 October 1938. Two men meet. One is elderly, the other in his twenties. One will become the most revered man of his time, and the other will be known as the greatest of traitors. Winston Churchill met Guy Burgess at a moment when the world was about to explode. Now, in his astonishing new novel, Michael Dobbs throws brilliant fresh light upon Churchill's relationship with the Soviet spy and the twenty months of conspiracy, chance and outright treachery that were to propel Churchill from outcast to messiah and change the course of history.
