- Jonathan Gordon

Author: Claire Hubbard-Hall Publisher: W&N Price: £25 Released: Out now

We've had a good selection of recent books looking to highlight and elevate the role of women in British Intelligence. Digging through the archives and interviews, it's been a challenge for many authors to flesh out these figures in much detail, let alone bring them to life. Hubbard-Hall is a rare example of achieving a highly engaging level of personality and insight.
