A Cold War Catastrophe
A Cold War Catastrophe is a work stemming from over five years of research in the libraries and archives in the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom. It represents materials and insights into one of the most public of spy scandals to rock West Germany during the Cold War era and remains an issue which could still undermine the credibility of western intelligence agencies today. At present, the Central Intelligence Agency is still holding tight to roughly 1000 pages of documentation for reasons one can only speculate on roughly fifty years after the event in question, namely, the apparent defection of West Germany's head of counter-intelligence officer, namely, Otto John. Otto John interacted on a weekly basis from 1950-1954 with representatives of all western intelligence agencies including personal contacts with Allen Dulles, head of the CIA, shortly before his disappearance. The details included in my manuscript have never before been released to the public.
The Bedbug
Klop Ustinov was Britain's most ingenious spy - but he was never licensed to kill. Instead, he was authorised to bemuse and beguile his enemies into revealing their deepest, darkest secrets. From the Russian Revolution to the Cold War, he bluffed and tricked his way into the confidence of everyone from Soviet commissars to Gestapo Gruppenführer. Although his official codename was U35, he was better known as 'Klop', meaning 'Bedbug' - a name given to him by a very understanding wife on account of his extraordinary capacity to hop from one woman's bed to another in the King's service. Frequenting the social gatherings of Europe under the guise of innocent bon viveur, he displayed a showman's talent for entertaining (a trait his son, the actor Peter Ustinov, undoubtedly inherited) and captivated unsuspecting audiences while scavenging their secrets. Using exciting anecdotes and first-hand accounts, Peter Day explores the fascinating life of one of espionage's most inventive and memorable characters. The Bedbug was a master of uncovering the truth through telling tales; now his own tale can be told.
