Sidney Reilly
Reilly, Ace of Spies
No one knows the whole truth about Sidney Reilly's legendary exploits. His 30-year career as a spy, mostly for Britain, took him to Germany, the Far East, Persia and Russia. He nearly succeeded in assassinating Lenin. Later, posing as a member of the Russian secret police, he claimed to have nearly overthrown the Bolshevik government.
Reilly finally fell victim to the Trust, a Russian counter-intelligence organization created by Feliks Dzerzhinsky. Lured to Moscow, he was imprisoned, tortured and killed. |
