Customer Reviews

Excellent book!

It's a shame this book is out of print, since its subject is very much alive and well, despite a change of scenery. Conspiracies are one thing; political sentiment and bias is one thing; but ultimately there are knowable facts, and the facts thereby suggest conclusions, but they also exclude other ideas definitively, and it may be that where a subject of secrecy is concerned, the latter is the most valuable contribution one can make. This book does the job admirably.

The best book ever written on the KGB

I occasionally teach Soviet KGB History. I tell my students that I am pretty much a poor substitute for this book, and I make them read it. There is no better book on KGB history.
