One of the most significant intelligence coups in recent years has been revealed by The Times. For years, KGB operative Vasili Mitrokhin risked his life by hiding top-secret material from Russian secret service archives beneath his family dacha. When he was exfiltrated to the West, he took with him what the FBI called the most complete and extensive intelligence ever received from any source.

Co-authored in a brilliant partnership by Christopher Andrew and the renegade Soviet archivist himself, this extraordinary bestselling book is the result. It is a truly global exposé of major KGB penetrations throughout the Western world.

The Times describes this tale of malevolent spymasters, intricate tradecraft, and cold-eyed betrayal as "a cold war novel." Time calls it "sensational," and the Spectator praises it as the most informed and detailed study of Soviet subversive intrigues worldwide. The Sunday Telegraph hails it as the most comprehensive addition to the subject ever published.

Vasili Mitrokhin's story is a testament to the bravery and dedication of those who risked their lives to protect their country and expose the truth. His intelligence revelations have had a profound impact on our understanding of the Cold War and the ongoing threat of espionage. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in history, politics, and international security.
