Named a Best Book of the Year by The Sunday Times
“A scrupulous piece of reporting, necessary, timely and very sobering.”—John Le Carré
“BBC journalist Mark Urban lays out Skripal’s life and career as a double agent in an account that reads as if it were ripped from a Cold War spy novel.”—TIME
“An . . . engrossing, topical book. . . . Urban tells the story of Skripal’s undercover career well, much of it previously unknown and gleaned from around 10 hours of conversations with him at his Salisbury home. . . . The Skripal Files is a compelling first instalment of a story that will continue.”—The Guardian
“Fascinating account of the poisoning case. . . . Other books will follow on the Skripals, but they will struggle to match the texture of Urban's research, its knowledgeable hinterland.”—The Times
“Urban takes us on an expert tour of the psychological consequences for an individual who has betrayed his country. . . . The Skripal Files offers a genuinely rounded perspective on the human costs and consequences of betraying the Russian state as well as the deadly artistry of Russia’s active measures program.”—War on the Rocks
“A gripping real-life spy thriller.”—The Cipher Brief
“An original and often fascinating read on the games that spies played in the wake of the Cold War.”—Sunday Times
