Dear Reader, In February 2013 I gave a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast. Standing a few feet from President Obama, I warned my fellow citizens of the dangers facing our country and called for a return to the principles that made America great.

The first full biography of the notorious spy-- and an X-ray of the British ruling class that produced him.
