Honoured that the independent @bookauthority - as featured on #CNN and #Forbes - has just named #DeadDoubles one of best #espionage #biography books of all time. Up there in the top 20 with writers like Ben MacIntyre! Many thanks to all who nominated it.
Congratulations @trevorwbarnes! Your book "Dead Doubles" made it to our list of best Espionage Biography books of all time! https://t.co/lZTa9MIwCS
Interesting piece in today's London Times about the #PortlandSpyRing and #Russia's illegal #spies. For the full and thrilling story of the hunt for the Portland spies read #DeadDoubles. Sometimes Russian illegals have been a real threat but (more often) rubbish...
Thanks @john_sipher. After the recent exposure of Russian #illegalspies in Slovenia and Greece you specially will appreciate how Moscow is still using some of the same #DeadDoubles #espionage techniques today.
Bad luck Calder. My thoughts are with you.
Thankfully I was advised by to do it as I went along before writing #DeadDoubles.
Looking forward to reading #Spies - and especially the notes and references!
Do the references at the end, I told myself.
It will be easier, I told myself.
Reader, it is not.
Next book I will not be doing this again
Bring on Zotero!
I am learning my lesson

Thanks for your kind comment on #DeadDoubles. Beyond reasonable doubt #Roger_Hollis was not a Soviet spy. The criminal burden of proof is good enough for me. There's no definitive answer on the internet because currently there is no 100% definitive answer.
Coming towards the end of the excellent Dead Doubles but come on @trevorwbarnes was Hollis a Russian spy? Can’t see a definitive answer on the internet but you must know Lol Spill the beans!
Exciting news from #VAL TV. Having bought rights to the amazing story of the #PortlandSpyRing in #DeadDoubles they have a "great screenwriter" to produce "a really compelling pitch document". Delighted the writer is a woman: to help recognize the key role of the two women spies.
Indeed. See the new Epilogue added to the paperback edition of #DeadDoubles published last year with help from 'Peggy's descendants.
@JohnIndependen1 @trevorwbarnes Harry was not a violent man. He was turned in to the Police by his wife 'Peggy' but there was never an assault.
#OTD in 1961 #GCHQ guru, 'Bill' Bonsall, revealed his 'mysteries' to the Top Secret Romer Inquiry into the #PortlandSpyRing: how the British code breakers tried in vain to intercept radio transmissions by #KGB illegals Morris and Lona Cohen from London to Moscow. #DeadDoubles
Having found the real identity of #KGB illegal #KononMolody (pictured), #OTD in 1961 #MI5 hatched the plan to leak it through the #FBI to pressure the jailed Molody into cooperation. Full story in p/back of #DeadDoubles out now in UK and USA.
Do you live in the #USA or #Canada and love a great real life spy story? Thrilled by publication today in N America of paperback of #DeadDoubles. Many interesting angles for readers across the Atlantic. Also new, serious interest today in making a #TV #drama based on the book.
Wonderful to receive such a glowing and kind review of #DeadDoubles in #Aspectsofhistory from someone who knows the world of intelligence from the inside. Many thanks Brigadier.
Thrilled to find in one of London's top bookshops @Waterstones #Piccadilly a chunky pile of #DeadDoubles paperbacks today. Kind readers tell me it's a cracking book to pack for a summer break!
Fitting to remember #David_Whyte, distinguished #MI5 officer who led the #PortlandSpyRing case at the start, on UK p/b publication day for #DeadDoubles. Here shown in #JamesBond pose while SLO in #Caribbean in 1950s. Later wrote service's internal #ColdWar history.
YES, IT'S HIM! #OTD 60 years ago #FBI confirmed to #MI5 that Russian teenager, #Konon_Molody, they tracked to #California in the 1930s (on left here) was top #KGB agent jailed in London #Gordon_Lonsdale. First time this photo pub'd. Full story in #DeadDoubles, p/back out 22 July.
