Inhaltsangabe

Morningside Mata Hans uncovers a dark, dishonest world beneath the facade of respectable post-war Scotland, where MI6 used a charity as a talent spotting scheme to identify refugees from Eastern Europe as potential anti-Soviet agents. Using previously classified documents, Douglas MacLeod reveal how almost a thousand Ukrainian SS men were taken to the East Lothian town of Haddington for screening, and how Edinburgh entered the front line of the Cold War. He uncovers a rich cast of characters: war criminals plotting regime change in Eastern Europe from Edinburgh hotel rooms; a duchess duped by MI6; a kilt -wearing spy who charmed the matrons of Morningside, Edinburgh's most genteel suburb, and the notorious double agent, Kim Philby. Drawing on Nazi, Soviet and British sources, MacLeod's canvas ranges from Edinburgh tea-rooms to Stalin's gulags, from the farms of East Lothian to the Killing Fields of the Eastern Front.
