Rogue Agent: The Troubled Life and Dangerous Times of Robert Bruce Lockhart

By James Crossland

Robert Lockhart, the Scottish spy and World War II propagandist, is a forgotten figure that readers of just about any stripe will enjoy learning about. He’s a man of incredible talent, brilliance, and wit, yet afflicted with unfortunately excessive desires for drinking, women, and danger. An influential figure of the early and mid-20th century, Crossland presents a biography of a conflicted, yet brilliant man.
