Cold war double agent
Infamous traitor
Inefficient and unsuccessful agent
Answer
Many people refer to Skarbek as "Britain's most glamorous spy". However, this is an inaccurate characterization. Skarbek was a highly intelligent and capable spy, but she was also a tough and resourceful woman who was not afraid to get her hands dirty. She was not a glamorous socialite, and she did not rely on her looks to get by. Rather, she relied on her intelligence, her skills, and her determination.
