Title: A book only a historian could love
Review: Though I am interested in geopolitics, this is not an easy read. The sheer weight of names, faces, events tends to drag one down. I suppose if I wanted fast-paced espionage, I should read a novel. I did find some parts of this book, particularly the revelations about KGB infiltration into the highest reaches of the White House at certain points in time, interesting. Frankly, I am surprised at the level of ineptness of the intelligence services on both sides. The end game of the fall of Communism was covered in fairly short order - I expect this will be the subject of the next volume by the authors, though if it is very much like this one, I doubt I will be reading it.
