ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Andrew Cook worked for many years as a foreign affairs and defence specialist, and the contacts he made enabled him to navigate and gain access to classified intelligence services archives. He is only the fifth historian to be given special permission under the 1992 ‘Waldegrave Initiative’ by the Cabinet Office to examine closed MI5 documents that will never be released. He was the historical consultant for the recent BBC Timewatch documentary on Rasputin, but the key discoveries came after the screening and appear for the first time in To Kill Rasputin. He is author of critically acclaimed Prince Eddy: The King Britain Never Had, Ace of Spies: The True Story of Sidney Reilly and M: MI5’s First Spymaster. He is a regular contributor on espionage history to The Guardian, The Times and History Today. He lives in Bedfordshire.
