Шпион и предатель
Самая громкая шпионская история времен холодной войны
Ben MacIntyre
Олег Гордиевский казался идеальным продуктом системы — его отец работал в НКВД, брат стал нелегалом-разведчиком КГБ, сам он окончил элитарный МГИМО, поступил на службу в Первое главное управление, получил звание полковника КГБ. Однако больше десяти лет он работал на МИ-6 и стал одним из ключевых агентов британской разведки, сыгравшим немалую роль в истории холодной войны. По его словам, делал он это исключительно из идейных соображений. В книге "Шпион и предатель", основанной в числе прочего на интервью с Гордиевским, британский писатель и историк Бен Макинтайр пытается разобраться, что заставило этого человека, столь глубоко укорененного в системе, восстать против нее.

This nonfiction account focuses on Oleg Gordievsky, a KGB officer who became a double agent for the British, and Aldrich Ames, the American turncoat who likely betrayed him. Macintyre’s retelling of their stories comes not only from Western sources (including Gordievsky himself) but also from the Russian perspective. It’s every bit as exciting as my favorite spy novels. – источник2019-06-05T14:34:05.000Z

A very very good start of the year 2023. As January ends, I read 5 books, 3 of which on Angola. I feel Angolan Expert already 🤣🤣. Very thought-provoking books written by authors with deep knowledges and grasps of subject matter. Found the month ending fast! – источник2019-12-11T15:32:11.000Z

@tomhappens I understand. That makes perfect sense. Listen, Ben McIntyres books, I think you'd enjoy them IMMENSELY. Theyre non-fiction about MI5 and spying and whatnot and they're TRULY great. The Spy and the Traitor is where I began 😘😘😘😘😘😘 – источник2021-01-02T18:21:05.000Z
@yogabykate @mojaveb @alexrblackwell Ok, here we go. There are so many good books. I'll focus on the ones that are good/accurate and fun to read. There are a bunch that are good but not really enjoyable. First, Ben McIntyre's books are fun reads - Agent Sonya, The Spy and Traitor, Op Mincemeat, Zigzag... – источник2019-08-19T08:34:11.000Z

Book 16 on year: Spy and Traitor by Ben Macintyre - an absolutely riveting story of the life of a Russian double agent. Fascinating book about the craft, but the actual story of the Russian spy is really something. – источник2019-07-31T09:23:16.000Z
Brilliant book by @BenMacintyre1 (The Spy and the Traitor), the true story of Oleg Gordievsky. Recommended. (cc @JonnyGeller) – источник
