Fact, not fiction, please.

Curious to read more about West v. USSR espionage during the Cold War, particularly in Europe.

Any recs?

Happy New Year

Anything by Christoper Andrew in regard to the Mitrokhin Archive. Mitrokhin was a KGB agent who made copies of practically everything in the KGB archive for decades and then published it when he left the country once the Soviet Union collapsed.

Also I haven't read it yet but I understand that Witness with Whittaker Chambers is very good.

Not my genre, but perhaps there really should be a book board, always interested in good recommendations. How about it Moderators?
