Cold War Warrior: Canadian MI-6 Agent Lawrence Fox

Lawrence Fox was born and raised in Midland, Ontario and enlisted in the RCAF in 1952. Distinguished by his outstanding marksmanship from the beginning of his military career, he was selected immediately as a candidate for dangerous espionage work and formally recruited by MI-6 in 1956. His first of five Cold War missions as an espionage courier behind the Iron Curtain was carried out in November, 1956, arriving in Budapest amid fierce action just after the Russians had ordered 1000 tanks into the city. Four highly dangerous missions into Czechoslovakia, Poland (2) and Russia followed. His assignments included bringing important people, microfilm and information out to the west. His MI-6 work was top secret, resulted in long term PTSD and greatly complicated his private life. Nothing is left out of this nonfiction espionage thriller.

This book is dedicated to increasing awareness of the dangers and sacrifice that the military undertake on our behalf.
