About TOPCWF26 Are Spies Heroes Any More? - Old Swan Hotel

From glamorous Cold War operatives to flawed modern insiders, the spy hero has changed dramatically. Mick Herron and David McCloskey discuss how and why espionage fiction has shifted from swagger to doubt, failure and complexity. Interviewed by Lisa Howells.
