Download The Mole: The Cold War Memoir of Winston Bates AudioBook Free
The fictitious memoir of unlikely international spy planted in Washington, D.C., in the years after World Conflict II Recruited by a foreign power in postwar Paris and sent to Washington, Winston Bates is without training or ability. He might be considered a walking description of the anti-spy. Yet he makes his way onto the staff of the powerful Senator Richard Russell, mind of the Armed Services Committee. From that perch, Bates has extensive and revealing associates with the Dulles brothers, Richard Bissell, Richard Helms, Lyndon Johnson, Joe Alsop, Walter Lippman, Roy Cohn, and even Ollie North - to name but some of the historical players in the American experience Winston befriends - and haplessly betrays for a quarter century. A comedy of manners set within the circles of power and information, Peter Warner's The Mole is a witty communal record of Washington in the last mentioned 1 / 2 of the 20th century that presents the question: How much damage can be done by the wrong person in the right place at the right time? Written as Winston's memoir, The Mole details the North american Century from an perspective definitely off middle. From Suez, the U-2 Crash, the Bay of Pigs, Vietnam, and Watergate, the novel is richly and factually detailed, marvelously convincing, and will be offering the listener a somewhat subversive character searching for personal information and so this means (as well as his elusive handler) in a heady time during one of history's most defining eras.
