Product Description
Review
West's knowledge of the spying world here combines with the inside knowledge of Tsarev before he defected from the KGB to provide, from the newly opened Moscow archives, a treasure-house of material on how thoroughly the Soviet moles in British Intelligence betrayed their country in the middle of this century. Thousands of reports were handed over by 'The Cambridge Five', giving all sorts of intimate details about how MI5 and MI6 worked; decipher and deception were covered, though less thoroughly, as well. The Soviet authorities suspected that their spies must be double agents; and only became convinced they were not because the material they passed was so precious. As readable as a good thriller, and true as well. (Kirkus UK)
