CODENAME DORA: THE MEMOIRS OF A RUSSIAN SPY by Sandor Rado and Translator J. A. Underwood

(Subject: Intelligence, Espionage, Reconnaissance & Electronic Warfare) 'Dora' was the codename of the leader of a vitally important link in the Soviet intelligence network operating in Europe during the Second World War. Under cover of running a cartographical agency in Geneva, the author was able to build up a group which, at its best in 1942, had three transmitters providing Russia with information on German troop positions, movements and losses, the state of the armaments industry and strategic plans. This book provides a fascinating first-hand insight into the difficulties and dangers faced by intelligence agents, their dedication, and the day-to-day running of an extremely successful branch of the Soviet Union's 'Red Orchestra'.
