Sydney Reilly is still a man of mystery. His whole life is surrounded by myths, some of which he invented himself. Sometimes he is called 'the man of nowhere' - even today it is still one hundred percent unknown where he was born. He could be considered a 'standard enemy' of the Soviet regime, but his life was not confined to the espionage and political conspiracy: he cranked adventurous commercial combinations, making large amounts of money and quickly spent them on a new adventure, has assembled one of the largest and most unique in the world collection of items related to Napoleon, was a passionate lover of aviation... In his new book, E. V. Malinin finally answer the question, for a hundred years, exciting historians: 'Who are you, Mr. Reilly?'The book is intended for a wide range of readers interested in the history of Russia in the early twentieth century, as well as the history of intelligence and espionage.
