520	1		_a"Auckland. Cambridge. Moscow. Paris. Hailed as the 'most brilliant linguist and ablest foreign envoy' New Zealand ever produced, Paddy Costello's epic life and the mystery which surrounds his reputation are described in this account of an exceptional man's life. Published last year to great acclaim in New Zealand, its UK publication finally answers the conspiracy theories of Chapman Pincher, the deceit of Anthony Blunt and the myth of Costello's espionage activities which has captured the imagination of some English historians."--BOOK JACKET.
