My Life As A Spy
$12.99
A warm and witty memoir of one man's coming of age in the Cold War.
My Life As A Spy is Buffalo Soldiers for the over-sixties. It is a wry and poignant literary memoir that follows the adventures of a young lad from Halifax, as he is put through grim RAF National Service training camps and Russian language schools before being dispatched to an inhospitable, Cold-War Berlin on a pointless tour of duty.
A hugely evocative tale of coming of age in post-war Britain and a wry take on one young man's reluctant and eventually absurd role spying for Her Majesty.
