Writer, spy, outsider, insider, neighbour, friend.

Who was the real John le Carr茅 and what does his writing tell us about him and his country?

Using archive interviews with le Carr茅 and new interviews with his editors and one of his sons, Philippe Sands charts le Carr茅鈥檚 shifting sense of identity, and his relationship with Britain.
