Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 29
Previous histories have focused on the KGB, leaving military intelligence and the special service - which specialized in codes and ciphers - lurking in the shadows. Drawing on previously neglected Russian sources, Haslam reveals how both were in fact crucial to the survival of the Soviet state. This was especially true after Stalin's death in 1953, as the Cold War heated up and dedicated Communist agents the regime had relied upon - Klaus Fuchs, the Rosenbergs, Donald Maclean - were betrayed.

Detailed, too much
Revisado: 03-17-24
Reads more like an extended dissertation, with lots of scholarly detail. Not the most lucid telling and some of the detail seems like it should be in a footnote. The accent of the reader doesn’t stand up well to increased playback speed or background noise
