Klop : Britain's most ingenious secret agent
Day, Peter, 1949 May 29-2014
Book
Klop Ustinov was Britain's most ingenious spy codenamed U35. He wasn't licensed to kill, he was authorised to tell tall stories that bemused and beguiled the enemy into revealing their deepest secrets. From the Russian Revolution to the Cold War he bluffed and tricked his way into the confidence of Soviet commissars and Gestapo Gruppenführer. He passed on his talent as a raconteur to his famous son, the actor Peter Ustinov, but Klop's untold story is more amazing and entertaining than any of Peter's chat show anecdotes.
