Samuel J. Hamrick

Samuel J. Hamrick (1929-2008) was an American spy novelist, who often used the pen name W.T.Tyler. Some of his novels are "Rogue's March","The Consul's Wife", and "Last Train from Berlin."Hamrick also wrote a nonfiction book, "Deceiving the Deceivers:Kim Philby, Donald Maclean and Guy Burgess", in which he speculated that Kim Philby and other defectors were unknowingly helping Great Britain dupe the Soviet Union, rather than successfully spying for the Soviet Union.

Hamrick used the name W.T. Tyler as an allusion to Wat Tyler, an English rebel of the 14th century.

Hamrick's obituary appeared in the New York Times.
