The book "M" (2017) by author Henry Hemming describes the life of Maxwell Knight, MI5's greatest spymaster during the 20th century. Maxwell famously ran about two dozen agents, uncovering many secrets and plots threatening the UK. In “Our Man In New York” (2019) Henry describes the Great Debate (1940 - 1941): do the USA enter the second World War or not? An MI6 agent, Bill Stephenson, was sent to the US to make sure they did. And Stephenson succeeded! Don and Henry chat about both these books, discussing Maxwell's personal and professional life. How he went from an undercover agent in the British Fascisti to an extraordinary agent runner during WWII. And also, how Stephenson managed to pull off a seemingly impossible task, influencing polls, creating fake news and having access to people in very high places! The podcast starts with an audio clip from M, narrated by Henry himself.
