Summary
He warned Stalin of Hitler’s invasion. He exposed Japan’s war plans. Then he was abandoned by the country he served.
Richard Sorge was a master spy who worked deep inside the heart of Axis power. Operating under the guise of a Nazi-sympathizing journalist in Tokyo, he passed high-level secrets to Moscow—intel that directly influenced Stalin’s war strategy and may have helped turn the tide of World War II. Despite his extraordinary achievements, Sorge was captured, tortured, and executed by the Japanese—while the Soviet Union publicly denied knowing him.
Richard Sorge: Stalin’s Eyes in Tokyo is a riveting biography that brings to life one of history’s most fascinating espionage figures. Historian David G. Stone draws on declassified files, eyewitness accounts, and wartime records to tell the full story of a spy whose courage, deception, and sacrifice rewrote the rules of intelligence.
Perfect for readers of Cold War thrillers, WWII history, and real-life spy sagas, this is the untold story of Stalin’s greatest spy in the East.
