Men and women took to the streets to protest the planned union with England, fearing the end of Scottish sovereignty. But unbeknownst to the mob, a spy was in their midst-the English writer Daniel Defoe, now bankrupt and thrice pilloried, had turned a government agent. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMarc Mierowsky tells the dramatic story of Defoe and his fellow spies as they sabotaged the Scottish independence movement from the inside. Together they disseminated propaganda and built a network of operatives from London to the upper Highlands, providing the English government with up-to-the-minute intelligence and monitoring its adversaries' every move. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough the lives of Defoe and his ring, their handlers, and opponents, Mierowsky guides us through this shadowy underworld of espionage and propaganda-revealing a disturbing and distinctly modern political campaign.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marc Mierowsky","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":48814900052211,"sku":"9780300260168","price":51.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9780300260168.jpg?v=1775678639","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/a-spy-amongst-us-marc-mierowsky-9780300260168","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
