Reminiscences of a Reluctant Spy

Om Reminiscences of a Reluctant Spy

The biography is of Steven Kovacs, a Hungarian industrialist before WWII, who, in attempting to further his textile business, was pushed into being a spy for the government. He was given military status and had his own staff. The book documents not only his espionage activities but also his romantic assignations, of which there were many. He survived through several wives, many of whom were lost during the war, as well as hair-raising episodes of dirty dealings and espionage. He and his last wife escaped communism to hide in the outback of Australia, where he befriended many of the Aboriginal tribesmen and experienced the harsh realities of their way of life. He suffered dust storms and snakes, crocodile hunts and close friendships, and was an observer of the mysteries of our Australian outback at very close hand.
