The Kremlin's Confidant CTB facing up to everything she

facing up to everything she thought she knew about herself requires a lot of trial and error

why you should ignore what appears behind someone on the TV and much more

The Kremlin's Confidant CTB facing up to everything sheMartin Packard is an extraordinary man who has led an extraordinary life. An idealist and a man of liberal instincts, his enthusiasms resulted in him having an inside track in several major events of recent decades, including the coup and bloody dictatorship in Greece and the unravelling of the Soviet Union. Easy going, warm and generous with his friendship, his life story is a ripping read. Peter Murtagh, journalist and author of The Rape of Greece
