The Foreword reads: In this booklet, which is about spies, there are passing references to such well-known names as Fuchs, Blake, Nunn May, Vassall, Houghton, Gee and Lonsdale. Certain aspects of the cases of Petrov and Gouzenko, former Russian intelligence operators, are also examined. In all other case histories described, fictitious names have been used.
