Rogue Agent From Secret Plots to Psychological Warfare, The Untold Story of Robert Bruce Lockhart by James Crossland

 Dining with Trotsky, courting a Ukrainian countess, staring down execution - it was all in a day’s work for the invincible Lockhart. This amazing man was like a real-life James Bond! Unfortunately, his problems with drinking,  philandering and the resulting depression played havoc with his career at certain times but the brilliant young man who joined the Foreign Office and tried to bring down Lenin still managed to achieve a great deal, playing a leading role in gathering intelligence during the war and eventually becoming a best-selling author.
