In January 1961 the Special Branch in arrested five people in London for spying.Two English, two New Zealanders and one Canadian made up what became known as the Portland Spy Ring.Many of the details of the espionage are still officially secret. The story told in All Lies is an account of how it might have come about that Britain's most secret naval facility, the Underwater Weapons Establishment in Portland Harbour in Dorset, was targeted and penetrated by a Russian spy who is recognized as one of the most successful Soviet agents of all time.It is also the story of how two ordinary British subjects were suborned into betraying their country. For this they paid a heavy price.
