Stalin's Romeo Spy : The Remarkable Rise And Fall Of The KGB's Most Daring Operative
by Emil Draitser

Dmitri Bystrolyotov spied for Stalin during the 1920s and 1930s. He was England's equivalent to Sydney Reilly, their ace of spies. Fluent in scores of languages, dashing, handsome, Dmitri's way of gathering information was in the seduction of women.
For all he did for the Soviet Union, their thanks to him was having Bystrolyotov arrested and tortured and sent to the Gulag for twenty years.
I love reading great spy books. This book was not one of them. The author is Russian and although he has lived in the United States since 1974, everything he has written is Russian-based (he teaches the language at a New York college). Consequently, the writing is quite dry and pedantic. He does have command of the English language but perhaps if somebody else wrote about this subject, it would fare better.
Not recommended.
