Reviews

[Larry Loftis · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a fine general overview type of book ... just a paragraph or two on many agents and intelligence officers through the years. I wouldn't quote from it, however, as it is unreliable in details, at least in the areas of interest to me. The entry for Dusko Popov, for example, has numerous errors.
