This book reveals the most complete picture ever of the KGB and its operations in the United States and Europe. It is based on an extremely top secret archive, which details the full extent of its worldwide network.

Christopher Andrew is professor of modern and contemporary history and chair of the history department at Cambridge University, a former visiting professor of national security at Harvard, a frequent guest lecturer at other United States universities, and a regular host of BBC radio and TV programs. His books - which include Her Majesty’s Secret Service; KGB: The Inside Story (with Oleg Gordievsky); and For the President’s Eyes Only - have established him as one of the world’s leading authorities on intelligence history.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A sweeping, densely documented history…Thanks to Comrade Mitrokhin, the KGB and most who spied for it have been stripped naked.” ( New York Times Book Review)
“ The Sword and the Shield will stand as an indispensable reference work on Soviet espionage for years to come.” ( Washington Post)
“Whitfield’s [narration]…is certainly appropriate for this presentation.” (Kliatt)

This book was very thorough yet it was very hard to get through. Too much detail and very easy to get lost in all the name dropping. A little less minutiae and more background detail would have made this book more enjoyable. Parts were fascinating, but most droned on for me.

Thorough, but TMI

I got this book thinking it will have global coverage of KGB, but this book keeps repeating the known story of Europe and the US. There are lot of stories that happened in Asia and Africa, but absolutely no mention of it. disappointing.
Also, the story is not well pieced together, to many names and to many incidents, often unrelated.

Very Europe/US focused

Overall interesting story but way to long and far, far to many names. Could have been half the length and been just as interesting. Best to start with part 2 and go back if really interested.

A Deep, (to) Deep Dive Into Soviet Spying

This book goes into great detail about the KGB's activities and organization throughout the cold war years and then some. The problem I had was the vast amount of information shared got lost, twisted and confused in the 31+ hours that this book runs for. If you can manage the length and all that this book is comprised of, you'll be in for one heck of a story. Frankly, I am surprised the KGB managed to last as long as they did, seemed they were more focused on themselves and less of anyone else.

Good but lengthy

Great account of the KGB and NKVD. Their relationship with other country Ws and their own people.

Detailed and thorough

The book could have continued on several chapters more. It adds background to the “NUKE” drills that were a common practice during my early school years

Relevance of an era.
