Synopses & Reviews
Beginning with the Biblical story of Joseph, which marked the first use of the word "spy", to the post-Cold War restructuring of the Soviet intelligence apparatus, this book contains more than 2,000 entries, in A-to-Z format, on people, agencies, operations, tools, methods, cases of espionage and counter-espionage, and even fictional spies. Twenty-seven "master entries" cover major spy rings and their activities. Includes previously unavailable KGB archival material and 60 black-and-white illustrations.
