<div><p>This second volume of John Deverill's entertaining memoir covers the years 1953 to the present day. From drinking too much with Krushchev at embassy receptions to swimming across the Volga to give his KGB minders the slip, this lively account perfectly captures the glamor and intrigue of Moscow in the 1950s and Deverill's time in Yemen during the tail end of the British administration in Aden.</p><BR></div>
