The book very much brings alive the chaos and casual brutality of the early days of the Bolshevik revolution in Turkestan. Somehow Bailey slips through it all, constantly striving to get intelligence out to Britain. Miraculously he never seems to want for money – we never do learn where it came from or where he kept it. MISSION TO TASHKENT is not an easy read, but it is absolutely vital in understanding the forces, many of which still operate in this pivotal area of the globe.

Interesting and topical stuff, what with all the current shenanigans in the NWF.

I will add Timely News to my list of things to read before I start work ;o)

All the best
