Richard Bassett has worked in the City for the last fifteen years advising several of Europe's largest companies. Previously he worked in Central Europe for many years, first as a professional horn player and then as a staff correspondent of the London Times in Vienna, Rome, and Warsaw, where his dispatches covered the end of the Cold War and gave early warning of the impending disintegration of Yugoslavia. He divides his time between London and the Continent.
Bassett delivers a fascinating account of his courageous,
frustrated, and ultimately tragic life.
Canaris himself emerges from these pages as a remarkable man with
an iron will, great courage, and a subtle intelligence, who thought
that the dirty work of spying became less sordid if conducted by
gentlemen.
An illuminating history.
