Who was Britain's greatest spymaster? Hear Henry Hemming talk about Maxwell Knight.


Recommended Posts

Village Books in Dulwich Village hosts Henry Hemming to tell you about Britain's greatest spymaster ?M: Maxwell Knight, MI5?s Greatest Spymaster?. Henry will talk about two remarkable female spies and the man who ran them: an animal-loving drop-out who went on to become MI5?s greatest spymaster.


This event is taking place on Monday 5th June 2017 7pm at St Barnabas Church: The Lounge, 40 Calton Avenue, Dulwich London SE21 7DG


This is the dramatic true story of a maverick MI5 officer who recruited two women in the 1930s to penetrate the British Communist movement. Their skillful, deft work led to the exposure of a Soviet spy-ring in the Woolwich Arsenal, a famous court case and one of them being hailed in America as ?Britain?s counter-espionage heroine?.


Don?t miss the opportunity to hear this entertaining speaker reveal the truth about this legendary, and most unusual. spymaster.


Tickets ?8 (includes a free glass of wine). Book tickets here: www.village-books.co.uk


Ben Macintrye says in his review of Henry?s book ?Hemming has done a superb job of peeling back the layers covering this most veiled of spies?. ?Impressive detective work.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
