Description
The epic intelligence war between East and West is revealed in this gripping history of espionage and counter-espionage. From the early 20th century to the present day, the struggle between Russia and the West has been marked by sabotage, subversion, and cyber-attacks. Calder Walton draws on secret archives to show how the Cold War began earlier than commonly assumed and continued long after the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991. The narrative spans continents and decades, from the frozen streets of St. Petersburg in 1917 to the bloody beaches of Normandy, and from coups in faraway lands to the present-day threat of troll farms and synthetic bots. Walton's book provides key lessons for countering the growing power of China, and offers a fascinating insight into the rise and fall of eastern superpowers. Spies is an engrossing story of the best and worst of mankind, revealing the bravery and honor, as well as the treachery and betrayal, that have shaped the intelligence war between East and West.
