This is such a tense page turner you have to keep reminding yourself that its based on fact not a work of fiction. An amazing story and excellent read.
The Spy and the Traitor Well researched , brilliantly written this story describing the ultimate way to run a spy has you on the edge of your seat. MacIntyre cleverly brings into sharp focus the tensions and the stress experienced by spies and spy masters. Totally unputdownable.
