Boxford Village Hall
AN INFAMOUS COLD WAR SPY MYSTERY COMES TO BOXFORD
An illustrated talk by Trevor Barnes
The Portland Spy Ring was one of the most dangerous and remarkable KGB espionage rings ever to
operate in the UK until it was rounded up in 1961.
Born and brought up in Ipswich, Trevor Barnes is
a former senior producer at the BBC and now acclaimed historian of espionage. He has written a
thrilling account of the top secret investigation into the five spies – three men and two women –
who formed the Portland Ring and the crucial secrets they stole.
Using hitherto secret MI5 and FBI files, private family archives and original interviews, Trevor’s
talk will reveal how the tentacles of the Portland Ring stretched around the world - from America,
to Russia, Canada, New Zealand, Europe and the UK. It even had a SUFFOLK connection.
Trevor will also tell us how many of the spy techniques used by KGB back in 1961 are still used by
Putin’s spies against the West in 2023. One critic said the DEAD DOUBLES story ‘reads like a Le
Carré thriller - but true!’
Do come and join us. Free for Boxford Society members and all are welcome at just £2 per head.
