The only biography of Britain's celebrated female spy now fully updated with classified materials. From being raised in a Tanzanian shack, to attaining MI6's most senior operational rank, Daphne Park led a highly unusual life. Drawing on first-hand accounts of intelligence workers close to agent Park, Hayes reveals how she rose in a male-dominated world to become Britain's Cold War spy master.
With intimate, nail-biting details Queen of Spies captures both the paranoia and on-the-ground realities of intelligence work from the Second World War to the Cold War, and the life of Britain's celebrated female spy. AUTHOR: Paddy Hayes was born in Cork and educated in Dublin and at Harvard University. As the founder of an international research practice, he has been a close observer of the clandestine operations of secret intelligence services.
