This title tells the story of the secret war waged by Western intelligence against the Bolsheviks in Russia from 1917. The book asks: what if the Western secret services had succeeded in capturing Lenin as they planned? It reveals how the Western powers worked together first to persuade the Bolsheviks to stay in World War I, and then to attempt their overthrow during the Russian Civil War. It seems that the Bolsheviks often knew what their adversaries were doing and used them as dupes in their own plots.
