The book tells the remarkable story of Vasili Mitrokhin, an introverted, obsessive archivist who stole the KGB's secrets. Turned away by the CIA, he was brought out by MI6. The book also explores how the KGB never died and how that led to the rise of Vladimir Putin and the world we live in today.

Ahmed al Ahmed, a Lebanese Muslim who owns a Sydney fruit shop, risked his life to disarm one of the Bondi Beach shooters.
His courage gives me hope amidst the horror and darkness. Muslims and Jews are not enemies. Our futures, in the Middle East and beyond, are intrinsically bound.

New Home Office impact assessment finds that cutting skilled and social care visas will cost the UK up to £10 billion with a central estimate of -£5.4 billion.
