Inside the KGB : My Life in Soviet Espionage

Rating:
Summary: Below Average
Review: This book details the life of a KGB agent, his career in the organization and an overview of what they do and how they do it. It comes off as a very high level, average and uninspiring work. There is just nothing new here. The book was a little run of the mill. The story sounded like it would be full of interesting stories from this former KGB agent. We get some interesting details on how operations are planned and carried out, some detail on the trade craft and recruitment, but overall the wooden written and the lack of large amounts of new information make this a book only suited to someone that is really interested in learning everything they possibly can about the KGB. There are better books on this topic.
