On the 13th December 1918, one month after the Great War had ended, a crew of six and a dog called Tiny set off on a pioneering mission to fly from Britain to India. They would achieve their goal, but it was not without its challenges. Follow the crew aboard the Old Carthusian on this frightening and sometimes amusing operation from England through the Mediterranean, North Africa, and the Middle East as they battle extreme weather, engine failure, ill-health, and forced landings in deserts, marshes, and beaches. Track their journey meeting rogue reporters, gold-hungry Arabs in the desert, and generous French vineyard owners. And finally see them land in one piece nearly a month later in Karachi, exhausted and with a plane that needs rebuilding. However, the rest doesn’t last long as the crew and the rebuilt Old Carthusian are called on again and this time it’s a mission through the Khyber Pass to drop a bomb on the royal palace of Amanullah Khan, the King of Afghanistan, in Kabul. This final mission landed the crew and the plane into the history books as their efforts were seen as pivotal in ending the Third Afghan War.

Germany was the epicenter of the Cold War. Across the Iron Curtain, hundreds of thousands of soldiers faced each other, and if World War III were to break out, contemporaries feared, surely it would happen here. The country's frontline status made it an El Dorado for spies, who gathered information on military targets, penetrated political parties, and trained partisans for stay-behind operations. For the Americans, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) came to take the lead in this silent - and sometimes not so silent - contest. In the heyday of the Cold War, the agency's German station employed nearly two thousand officers - in addition to countless spies and informants. Ultimately, this covert empire reported to the CIA station chief in West Germany and his deputy. And for many years, either of those positions was held by Gordon Matthews Stewart. Gordon Stewart was well prepared for this assignment. He studied German history and literature during the 1930s, and lived in Munich and Hamburg as a visiting student. Here, he personally witnessed the Nazi takeover, even catching a glimpse of Adolf Hitler at one of his notorious rallies. When the United States entered the war in 1941, the newly established Office of Strategic Services (OSS) recruited him as a specialist on German affairs. In the summer of 1945, he arrived in Germany with an OSS detachment. Eventually, the OSS morphed into the CIA, and Gordon Stewart would run the agency's espionage organization in Germany for some twenty years. From CIA headquarters in Karlsruhe, Heidelberg, Frankfurt, and eventually, Bonn, Mr. Stewart directed all intelligence operations in central Europe. Initially, he hunted down Nazi war criminals, but the Cold War compelled him to bend his efforts toward the Soviet bloc. During the 1950s, Mr. Stewart directed espionage operations against East Germany, organized the training of Ukrainian partisans at U.S. bases in Bavaria, and participated in a scheme to dig a tunnel into East Berlin to eavesdrop on Soviet and East German communications. He also recruited and handled sources inside the West German government, including the chief of the Bundesnachrichtendienst, Reinhard Gehlen; the highest-ranking West German military officer, General Adolf Heusinger; and top policy-makers of the Christian and social democratic parties. Mr. Stewart's memoirs, introduced by renowned intelligence scholar Thomas Boghardt, offer not only a fascinating look inside the CIA's largest global station; they also tell the story of a deeply conscientious and highly accomplished intelligence officer, whose experience, intellect, and moral compass shaped American policy toward Germany and Europe during the turbulent years of the early Cold War.
