Lately been fascinated with the Cold War and with Gorbachev. Anyone read any good books on this dude or the conflict as a whole?

Here is a thread that was started not too long ago about the true story of a high level KGB officer spying for Britain during the height of the cold war.
The Spy and the Traitor
The Spy and the Traitor
quote:
For nearly a decade, as the Cold War reached its twilight, Gordievsky helped the West turn the tables on the KGB, exposing Russian spies and helping to foil countless intelligence plots, as the Soviet leadership grew increasingly paranoid at the United States's nuclear first-strike capabilities and brought the world closer to the brink of war. Desperate to keep the circle of trust close, MI6 never revealed Gordievsky's name to its counterparts in the CIA, which in turn grew obsessed with figuring out the identity of Britain's obviously top-level source. Their obsession ultimately doomed Gordievsky: the CIA officer assigned to identify him was none other than Aldrich Ames, the man who would become infamous for secretly spying for the Soviets.

Nice.
Sounds like a real-life Cardinal of the Kremlin.

One of political science professors would always say his memoirs book was pretty good.
