Classi Conversations with Helen Fry – Spring/Summer Series
June 11 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT
In Conversation on her book “Spymaster”
The dramatic story of a man who stood at the center of British intelligence operations, the ultimate spymaster of World War II: Thomas Kendrick
Helen Fry draws on extensive original research to tell the story of remarkable British intelligence officer, Thomas Kendrick. His life sheds light on the development of MI6 itself—he was one of the few men to serve Britain across three wars, two of which while working for the British Secret Service. Fry explores the private and public sides of Kendrick, revealing him to be the epitome of the “English gent”—easily able to charm those around him and scrupulously secretive.
