My Philadelphia Inquirer Review Of 'Spies: The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America'


 The Philadelphia Inquirer published my review of Spies: The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America today.

Ian Fleming, a British naval intelligence officer during World War II and the author of the James Bond thrillers, once noted that on occasion a news story would "lift a corner of the veil" and reveal the real world of espionage.

"Spies: The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America" lifts much more than a corner of the veil. The book is based on the notebooks of Alexander Vassiliev, a Russian journalist and former KGB officer who was given unprecedented access to KGB files for three years.
