Shownotes Transcript

People will do crazy things for desire. From the earliest human tales and histories to stories you can read in your newspaper today, there have been a never-ending number of crimes and betrayals committed because someone started getting hot under the collar. People will risk their relationships, their happiness, their lives for desire. Sometimes they’ll even risk the safety of their nation. And that is the theory behind everybody’s favorite spy tactic: The Honey Trap. A trap that ended up biting back against one government in the 60s. This is a spicy one, y'all: Spies, sex parties, knife fights in nightclubs...the whole shebang.Sources:The Secret Worlds of Stephen Ward by Anthony Summer and Stephen Dorrill Secrets and Lies by Christine Keeler with Douglas Thompsonhttps://spartacus-educational.com/SPYlewisJ.htm)Follow us, campers!Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfire)https://www.truecrimecampfirepod.com/)Facebook: True Crime CampfireInstagram: https://gramha.net/profile/truecrimecampfire/19093397079)Twitter: @TCCampfire https://twitter.com/TCCampfireEmail: [email protected]! https://true-crime-campfire.myspreadshop.com/)
