    This is the story of Oleg Gordievsky, a KGB Colonel who spied for the British MI6 for 11 years in the 1970s and 1980s.

    The story reads like a Tom Clancy spy novel, but it is all true.

    Absolutely riveting. I couldn’t put this book down.

    Trust me. Look it up on Amazon and read about it first. Ben Macintyre is the author, not Le Carre.

    This book gives an inside look at the inner workings of the KGB and MI6, and the tradecraft of espionage. What Gordievsky did was very, very dangerous, and so the story is gripping and suspenseful. And this is non-fiction, not some made up story.

    Once I started this book, I couldn't put it down.
