The story be gins with Suvorov's recruitment into military intelligence, carries through his training as a spy and posting to the Soviet embassy in Vienna, and ends with his defection to the British. The book is easy to read, giving consider able detail on how Soviet military intel ligence work is done and on the training of Soviet special forces troops. Only in telligence insiders can evaluate the ac curacy of the material here; for the rest of us, this is an interesting account of Soviet spycraft. For most libraries.
