So good. I second the review that says don't start the final 3rd unless you have uninterrupted time. My palms were SWEATY

Oh my good Lord that was a good book. Like a Le Carrè but non-fiction. 5 stars all the way and now I have to read Ben MacIntyre's entire back catalogue.

This was so interesting I found myself seeking extra audiobook occasions to just be able to continue the story. I was completely intrigued by this spy and all the people around him and how everybody worked together to protect him and use all this intelligence that was so impactful for the course of history. Thanks to great writing this all came together beautifully.

An incredibly important story that provides fascinating insights to what was happening behind the scenes in international relations during the 1980s, with a couple shocking revelations for the lay person.

A true pleasure to read. Gives you all the intrigue of a spy novel but with the deep knowledge of a historical recounting. It exposes the inner workings of espionage during the late stages of the Cold War in an engaging way that keeps you wanting to know more.
