abdiel47 's review for:
The Looking Glass War
by John le Carré
A fascinating look into the mindset of the veterans of the Cold War. Even more nihilistic that The Spy Who Came In from the Cold. It's a spy novel, but you are not going to see pretty ladies, fast cars, nor lots of action.
Instead what you see is the everyday grind of spies. You see people who, despite the horrors they've witnessed, are addicted to the climate of war and embrace espionage with the same fervor that they did combat. Where the ends justify the means because the world hangs in the balance. Except for when it doesn't.
A thoroughly captivating book. I may have to make a habit of reading John le Carré.
