The Spy and the Traitor: The Greatest Espionage Story of the Cold War by Ben Macintyre

5.0

I listened to this as an audiobook read by the author which I can thoroughly recommend.

This book is just so good. So many little insights into the world of cold war spying that are fascinating, hilarious and sometimes mildly terrifying. The true story of Oleg Gordievsky is so full of twists and turns you could say it practically tells itself, regardless Ben Macintyre does a fantastic and definitive job.
