The extraordinary triumphs, miscalculations, fatal errors and betrayals of spymasters - East and West
Edward Lucas is a senior editor at the Economist. He has been covering eastern Europe since 1986, with postings in Berlin, Moscow, Prague, Vienna, and the Baltic states. He is married to the columnist Cristina Odone. He is the author of The New Cold War (2008), which has been published in more than 15 languages.
Entertaining and informative ... In the fascinating chapters about
the voluptuous Anna Chapman, who was expelled from the US two years
ago together with nine other exposed Russian spies, we learn much
that is new, especially about her life in London. Lucas contrasts
our complacency and delusion with Russia's ruthless ingenuity.
*Mail on Sunday*
Putin [and] his friends ... are gangsters on a scale that makes Al
Capone or the Corleones seem small-time ... Lucas is right to
castigate our folly in treating all this so lightly.
*Max Hastings, Sunday Times*
Well-researched, engaging, and eerie.
*Publishers’ Weekly*
This important book is a sequel to the author's last indictment of
the Putin regime, The New Cold War, which came out four years ago.
Deception is, if anything, even more devastating.
*Standpoint*
Urgent and heartfelt.
*The Times*
