It began not with a passport, but with a question: Who was Olabisi Ajala, really? For most of the world, he was the charismatic globetrotter who traveled to nearly every country on earth - the man who turned wanderlust into a way of life. But in the newly released book Olabisi Ajala: CIA & MI6 Files Classified, author Aurora Mizutani, Ajala's daughter, reveals a far more complex figure - a man whose journeys crossed not only borders, but the blurred lines between diplomacy, espionage, and survival during the Cold War.

Drawing from declassified CIA and MI6 reports, private letters, and her own haunting memories, Mizutani's Declassified Report unearths evidence that Ajala's freedom of movement may have come at a hidden cost: connections to intelligence agencies that saw his charisma, multilingual fluency, and fame as perfect covers for covert work.

Between Passports and Secrets The book opens with Mizutani's deeply personal essay "The Traveler's Daughter", a moving account of growing up in the long shadow of a man the world claimed to know - but never truly understood. As she follows the paper trail of her father's "secret passports" and "shadow networks," she reconstructs a mosaic of the Cold War world - a place where African intellectuals, journalists, and travelers were courted, coerced, or quietly watched by Western intelligence services hungry for informants. Ajala's story is reframed not just as an adventure, but as a window into the machinery of influence - where race, charisma, and ideology made certain figures irresistible to spies and recruiters alike. The Tap on the Shoulder Mizutani's research dives into the darker rituals of recruitment that defined the era. In a chilling section titled "The Tap on the Shoulder," she documents how idealistic students at Oxford, Harvard, and the University of Lagos found themselves drawn - sometimes innocently, sometimes fatally - into the Cold War's secret games. A casual invitation to sherry, a flattering comment from a mentor, a hint of "opportunity" abroad. The tools of manipulation were subtle, almost banal. Many never realized until decades later that their "networking" had been, in truth, recruitment. The Silver Screen and the Secret Service In one of the book's most fascinating parallels, Mizutani expands her investigation to include Hollywood and international actors who doubled as spies during the same period. "The Silver Screen and the Secret Service" paints a vivid picture of how the entertainment industry - from Los Angeles to Moscow - became a battleground for ideology and intelligence. Here, names both legendary and obscure surface in the archives, revealing how stardom itself could be weaponized.

Appendix: The Actor–Spy Dossier The book concludes with an extraordinary appendix - a Cold War "Actor–Spy Dossier" - detailing confirmed, alleged, and censored cases of entertainers and public figures entangled in espionage. The dossier is a chilling reminder that culture and covert work often walked hand-in-hand, hidden beneath the glamour of diplomacy, film, and fame. A Global Story of Secrets and Survival More than an exposé, Olabisi Ajala: CIA & MI6 Files Classified is a reckoning - a daughter confronting the ghosts of geopolitics that shaped her family's destiny. It's a story of truth-seeking, betrayal, and legacy, told through the lens of a generation that inherited both the myth and the mystery of the Cold War. From university lecture halls to Hollywood soundstages, from Lagos to London, Aurora Mizutani's investigation connects the dots between the personal and the political, between fame and secrecy, between passports and power.
