SynopsisA remarkably talented linguist, foreign correspondent in Russia from 1904 to 1921 and Foreign Editor for 'The Times', Russia's Greatest Enemy? traces the fascinating life and career of Harold Williams. This quiet and modest New Zealander played a central role in informing and influencing British opinion on Russia from the twilight of the Tsars, through War and Revolution, to the rise of the Soviet Union.
