In October 1938, Churchill pleads his case in the press to the BBC's Guy Burgess. One of these two will become the most revered man of his time, and the other will be known as the greatest of traitors.]]> Mon, 01 Nov 2010 12:31:09 +0200 Saboteurs https://anthologies.library.land/michael-dobbs/66573-saboteurs.html https://anthologies.library.land/michael-dobbs/66573-saboteurs.html
