KGB THE INSIDE STORY: Inside Story of Its Foreign Operations-Andrew/Gordoevsky

Description: Some great Russian spy history in the ultimate KGB THE INSIDE STORY: Of Its Operations from Lenin to Gorbachev. This massive 776 page hardback by Christopher Andrew with Oleg Gordievsky, was published in 1990. Andrew is a clear, well-researched, but rather dry author of books on the history of espionage. Soviet turncoat Gordievsky, listed as his co-author, did not actually write any of this volume, but did serve as a consultant and source of much 'current' (pre-1990) inside dope about the KGB's operations. As might be expected, the story of the KGB is a depressing one. Like our own CIA, but often on a vaster scale, it has a sordid history, particularly during the Stalin era. Going as far as 1990, during the Gorbachev reforms, the story ends on an upbeat note. Sadly, shortly thereafter there was the failed abduction of Gorbachev and the Yeltsin coup in Russia made possible by the breakup of the Soviet Union. The rise of Putin within the KGB occurs after this account ends. Great, great history that shows the Russians have not changed a bit!!!!!!!! Book is a First Edition in almost new condition.
