    The Berlin Tunnel (1954)
    Apr 4 2026

    In 1954, the CIA and MI6 dug a tunnel from West Berlin into the Soviet sector to tap military phone lines. It was one of the most audacious intelligence operations of the Cold War. There was just one problem - the KGB knew about it before the first shovel broke ground.

    In February 1820, a group of desperate radicals plotted to murder the entire British Cabinet at a private dinner, behead two ministers, and spark a revolution in the streets of London. This is the story of the Cato Street Conspiracy - the men behind it, the government spy among them, and the last public beheading in England.
