Vasili Mitrokhin

Inhaltsangabe

The Times: "The most remarkable recent book on Soviet intelligence ... an
indispensable guide to KGB operational techniques, and to its mindset and
that of the regime which it served" (Christopher Andrew) Spectator "from
the unfree society that was our major opponent, the courage of Vasiliy
Mitrokhin has conjured up a pair of text-books, each having legal force
within the Soviet secret service...he prints in translation what he managed
to smuggle out ten years ago in Russian: the handbooks for intelligence and
counter-intelligence used by the KGB" (M.R.D. Foot) The Times
"extraordinary treasure trove of secret material which Mitrokhin risked his
life to liberate from the KGB archives" " a unique insight into the KGB and
its works......a unique contribution to our understanding of the evil
empire at work both at home and abroad" - Contemporary Review "Does he have
to spell out the audacity and bravery exhibited by a man who was already
seventy years old?... These materials in their raw state are so
astonishingly potent..." - Times Literary Supplement "This important book
adds to our understanding of the Soviet regime, in which the intelligence
agencies were the most important lever of power and it presents us with a
unique insight into the day by day running of the world"s most feared
intelligence organization." - Cryptologia
