My Life As A Spy by Leslie Woodhead
Buffalo Soldiers for the over sixties. A wry and poignant literary memoir that follows the adventures of a young lad from Halifax as he is put through grim RAF National Service training camps and Russian language schools before being despatched to an inhospitable, Cold-War Berlin on a pointless tour of duty. A hugely evocative tale of coming of age in post-war Britain and a wry take on one young man's reluctant and eventually absurd role spying for her Majesty.
Born in Glasgow in 1937, Leslie Woodhead is one of Britain's most distinguished documentary film-makers. His pioneering films, often on major Eastern European themes, have won many awards, including a BAFTA and the Royal Television Society award. He has been awarded an OBE for 'services to television'. His memoir My Life as a Spy charts his experience of the Cold War. He lives in Cheshire.
