This is the incredible true story of Ursula Kuczynski, codename Sonya, the German-Jewish refugee living quietly in the English countryside while running the spy ring that handed Britain's atomic secrets to the Soviets. I love that one of the most consequential spies of the century looked like an ordinary housewife on a bicycle. Newly declassified MI5 files fill in what they missed at the time, which was almost everything. Espionage proving, again, that the best cover is being underestimated.
