Over the course of two decades, Philby betrayed hundreds of operations, exposed agents, and fed a constant stream of secrets to Moscow.

Med sin ildkraft og banebrydende teknik skulle skibet neutralisere den britiske marines overmagt og standse de allieredes livsvigtige konvojtrafik tværs over Atlanten.

Tous les fronts dans ce livre audio. Cet ouvrage est né d'un constat paradoxal. Si nous croulons a priori sous les livres portant sur la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il existe en réalité peu de grandes synthèses sur le sujet – et aucune de l'envergure de celle que propose Olivier Wieviorka.
