a really brilliant work
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
i bought this out of interest, after seeing it had been nominated for a literary prize here in canada. i'm glad i did. it's such an important part of history - and this is the first book that examines with riveting detail - the story about gouzenko, a soviet clerk who defected. the documents, letters and accounts are really interesting, and the author makes it a really brilliant read.
