About This Book
Kui üks elegantne koduperenaine 1942. aastal vaikses Inglise linnakeses kodust väljus, teadsid naabrid, et pr Burton võiks minna näiteks perele toitu ostma. Tegelikult oli ta aga üks ajaloo suurimaid naisspioone, sünnipäraselt Ursula Kuczynski, koodnimega Sonja. Saksamaa juut, veendunud kommunist, Punaarmee polkovnik ja ülimalt osav luuraja, kes osales mitmes 20. sajandi ohtlikumas operatsioonis Mandžuuriast Šveitsini. "Agent Sonja" on põnev ülevaade ühe naise elust, mis liikus samas rütmis kommunismi tõusu ja langusega. Tunnustatud ajaloolase Ben Macintyre'i sulest on varem eesti keeles ilmunud "Spioon ja reetur".
