Doris Lessing - A Life Behind the Scenes: The Files of the British Intelligence Service MI5
Peter Raina
Raina's book, reproducing the secret files kept on Lessing, is a unique insight into her political life. She was eventually disillusioned by communism, seeking a better understanding of human relations than Soviet-conforming cliches. Her understanding was much enriched by the experiences of her activism and knowledge of the opposition it aroused.
