Lost Spy

The narrative uncovers the life and murder of Isaiah Oggins, a 1920s intellectual who became a Soviet spy and was killed on Stalin's orders in 1947. For decades, his case was concealed within secret intelligence files, only surfacing briefly in 1992 with a dossier from Boris Yeltsin. After extensive investigation, Andrew Meier presents a comprehensive account of Oggins' espionage activities and the political ramifications of his assassination, shedding light on a significant yet overlooked chapter of Cold War history.
