�It is impossible not to keep the pages turning� Scotland on Sunday�It�s a brilliant book everyone, go and get it!� Dan Snow �Compelling and meticulously researched, the riveting life of a maverick Scottish spy.� Charles Cumming____________________THE THRILLING BIOGRAPHY OF ROBERT BRUCE LOCKHART, BRITAIN�S �AGENT� IN MOSCOW Sir Robert Bruce Lockhart (1887�1970) was an impressive figure: a diplomat, intelligence agent, conspirator, journalist and propagandist who played a key role in both world wars. He was a man who charmed his way into the confidences of everyone from Leon Trotsky to Anthony Eden. A man whom the influential press baron Lord Beaverbook claimed �could well have been prime minister�. And yet Lockhart died almost forgotten and near destitute, a Scottish footnote in the pages of history. Rogue Agent is the first biography of this gifted yet habitually flawed maverick. It chronicles his many exploits, from his time as Britain�s �Agent� in Moscow, and his role in a plot to bring down the communist regime, to leading the Political Warfare Executive, a secret body responsible for disinformation and propaganda in the Second World War. Exploring Lockhart�s unorthodox thinking and contributions to the development of psychological warfare as well as his hedonistic lifestyle, late nights and many affairs that left him in a state of perpetual debt, Rogue Agent tells the thrilling story of this unconventional war hero.�
