It is the honour of a lifetime—twice over—to receive a cracking review of The Stay Behinds in my favourite magazine, The Spectator, by one of my favourite authors, the intelligence historian and spy novelist Alan Judd. He writes:
It took Wennström a great deal of research to put this detailed, thoughtful and unique account together.
The review comes on the heels of Toby Harnden’s rave review for SpyTalk and Mark Lardas’s review in the US Epoch Times. The staunchly anti-communist newspaper writes:
“The Stay Behinds” is a fascinating book. Wennström does an excellent job of drawing together a diverse set of sources to provide a coherent picture of a deliberately obscure organization. The book offers insight into an often-neglected aspect of politics and warfare.
