Marc Mierowsky: A Spy Amongst Us

It’s 1706, and Edinburgh's streets are a powder keg as the Scots protest the planned union with England.

But as Marc Mierowsky’s A Spy Amongst Us thrillingly recounts, the English government had a very unorthodox secret service working to sabotage Scotland’s independence.

It was led by a bankrupt and thrice-pilloried author – none other than Daniel Defoe.

Join Mierowsky today to uncover espionage and propaganda from London to the Highlands, and the unknown story of a distinctly modern political campaign.
