  • The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America

    The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America

    Timothy Snyder

    The eminent Yale professor is a vociferous and learned defender of our institutions, under threat as they are from C21st propaganda and agitation. His exploration of what has happened in Ukraine in the last few years, among other things, leaves little room for doubt about Russian involvement in affairs at the heart of the US presidency. This is a brilliant analysis, and all the more disturbing because Snyder is an historian, not  a journalist or politician.

    The Spy and the Traitor: The Greatest Espionage Story of the Cold War

    Ben Macintyre

The CIA man who finally identified him was Aldrich Ames, who turned out to be spying for the Soviets. This is a gripping story of treachery and betrayal, culminating in Gordievsky’s dramatic escape from Moscow in 1985.

    Teffi: A Life of Letters and of Laughter

    Edythe Haber

    First biography of the Russian writer recently rediscovered by an Anglophone readership, thanks to Pushkin Press’s translations of her short stories and her remarkable memoir of her journey into exile in 1918, ‘Memories: From Moscow to the Black Sea’. Witty, dauntless, and rather left field all her life, she visited Tolstoy as a 13-year-old in an attempt to persuade him to alter the ending of ‘War and Peace’.
