Secret Pigeon Service: Operation Columba, Resistance… door Gordon Corera
Unusual
So diabolical, but in the end mostly laughable. If the Russians focused as much on the advancement of their society as they do trying to cheat things from the west, they’d be miles ahead. So sad.
This is a fascinating book, filled with names, places, dates and events that illustrate and illuminate a lot about British Secret Service activities - and that of some other agencies during the Cold War and after it.
Well presented material on a subject most probably only know in fiction (i.e. the Americans on FX). This was a great audiobook to have for long drives and pockets of time when TV just didn't scratch the itch.
