About This Event

The Spycatcher affair remains one of the most intriguing moments in the history of British intelligence and a pivotal point in the public’s relationship with the murky world of espionage and security. It lifted the lid on alleged Soviet infiltration of British services and revealed a culture of law-breaking, bugging and burgling. But how much do we know about the story behind the scandal?

Tim Tate is a multi-award-winning documentary film-maker, investigative journalist and best-selling author who is coming to ROSL to discuss his new book, To Catch a Spy, the extraordinary story of the British Government’s attempts to silence whistleblower Peter Wright and hide the truth about Britain’s intelligence services and political elites. It’s a tale of high treason and low farce; of state-sanctioned cover-up plots; of the government lying to Parliament and courts around the world; and of stories leaked with the intention to mislead and deceive.

This event will take place in the Wrench Room
