“MrMorris’s dogged research—particularly into the shadowy intrigues that Reilly immersed himself in during the years surrounding World War I, the Russian Revolution and the founding of the Soviet Union—lends impressive rigor to this portrait of an often-cryptic figure.”—Diane Cole, Wall Street Journal
“Benny Morris recounts the stranger-than-fiction biography of the famous British spy who lied his way through the turmoil of the early twentieth century and introduces a new generation of readers to a character more compelling than James Bond.”—Matti Friedman, author of Spies of No Country
“Sidney Reilly adopted and shed identities as easily as he took and dropped wives, lovers, get-rich schemes, and plots. A remarkable book about a remarkable man, this will be the definitive biography of the early twentieth century’s preeminent spy.”—Gershom Gorenberg, author of War of Shadows: Codebreakers, Spies, and the Secret Struggle to Drive the Nazis from the Middle East
