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.

    • Aria is the BEST! So kind and reassuring (which I need after loads of plumbing faff) and on it! Couldn’t recommend more

    • Just wanted to give a huge recommendation for a local electrician, Paul Edgley. He is knowledgeable, thorough, completely focused on sorting out problems and a nice, helpful guy to boot. Another big plus is that he always turns up when he says he will and then cracks on with the job. I have used several electricians over the past couple of years, and generally been very disappointed. Paul was able to come and check out the problems pretty quickly and then got on with sorting them out. I’ve called on him regularly over the past few months and he has never let me down. I found out about Paul on this forum so I’m adding my voice to all the others recommending him.
