| Summary |
No spy drama has ever matched The Sandbaggers, which featured a tiny, covert intelligence unit based in London during the Cold War. The show that the New York Times called the "best spy series in television history" was the vision of Ian MacKintosh, who was among the first writers to present espionage realistically--as a sordid series of political struggles, double crosses, and personality clashes. The Life and Mysterious Death of Ian MacKintosh provides a behind-the-scenes look at the show that forever changed the spy genre. Readers will also gain insight into the enigmatic and accomplished Mac. |
