Spycraft. Smuggling. Books That Changed the World.

Join us at Simply Books for a night of espionage, resistance, and literary rebellion with journalist and historian Charlie English, as he uncovers the astonishing true story behind The CIA Book Club.

Hosted by our very own Darren (lead bookseller and non-fiction aficionado), this event will take you deep into the world of covert operations, banned books, and the daring men and women who risked everything to break Stalin’s intellectual stranglehold.
