SUMMARY:FCDOA Virtual talk by Simon KUPER: George Blake versus the UK
DESCRIPTION:FCDOA is organising an online talk by journalist and author of \nThe Happy Traitor (a biography of the British-KGB double agent George Blake)\,\nSimon Kuper\nwith the title George Blake versus the UK\non 13 July 2021 from 11.00 am – 12.00 pm on Zoom\n\n\n\nGeorge Blake versus the UK. Blake\, an MI6 officer who turned KGB double agent\, died in Moscow on Boxing Day aged 98. He deceived the British intelligence services and the Prison Service\, and harmed the country’s relationship with the US. The damage he did to the British state continued far beyond his unmasking as a traitor in 1961\, and some 40 agents are thought to have lost their lives because of Blake’s treachery. Yet his feelings about Britain were surprisingly positive.  His biographer Simon Kuper\, author of The Happy Traitor\, provides an insight into the mind of one of the most notorious cold war traitors. \n\n\nSimon Kuper (born in Kampala\, Uganda in 1969) was educated at Oxford University and Harvard. He writes a weekly column for the Financial Times. He is British but lives with his wife and three children in Paris. His books Soccer Against the Enemy (1994)\, Ajax\, The Dutch\, The War: Football in Europe During the Second World War (2003)\, and – as co-author with Stefan Szymanski – Soccernomics (2009) and The Happy Traitor (February 2021). Tickets are £5.
