The KGB Spy Who Exposed Russia’s Secret Plan to Attack The West - Richard Kerbaj
Open Book with Anthony ScaramucciShow Notes
This is an unbelievable true story of a KGB defector who helped MI5 blow apart the Soviet spy network in Britain, and why British intelligence decided it couldn’t trust the CIA with the secret. It’s a story about espionage, paranoia and betrayal during the Cold War, but as Richard explains, the lessons about Russia, China and the shadow war against the West couldn’t be more relevant today.
Richard Kerbaj is an espionage historian, BAFTA-winning and twice Emmy-nominated filmmaker, known for specializing in research on intelligence agencies and national security.

Hollywood thought China represented the biggest growth opportunity in the world, but somewhere along the way, we started changing our movies, compromising our values, and teaching them how to compete with us. Chris Fenton was in the room when those deals were being made, and today he’s sounding the alarm about what America got wrong and what we need to do before it’s too late.
