SYNOPSIS: Seventy years ago, to escape the vengeance of the Bolshevik death squads, a British intelligence officer, Captain Reginald Teague-Jones, was forced to change his name and disappear. For, having been sent on a secret mission to Transcaucasia, h found himself accused of one of the most notorious incidents of the war between Bolsheviks, "White Russians" and Turks--the murder of the 26 Baku Commissars. Bolshevik heroes, they included one of Lenin's closest friends. Until recently, it was assumed that Teague-Jones was long dead, but after the death in 1988 of a man named Ronald Sinclair, the truth emerged at last: Ronald Sinclair was Teague-Jones; he had lived into his hundredth year and not even his closest friends had had an inkling of who he really was. The Spy Who Disappeared is the story of his extraordinary mission and its tragic climax. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
