The Looking Glass War
Seller: Crappy Old Books, Barry, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Good. The Looking Glass War (1966) ? John le Carré (Pan Books) Ah yes, another Cold War classic from the man who made betrayal, bureaucracy, and badly dressed spies into page-turners. In The Looking Glass War , le Carré turns his weary gaze on the shabby little departments of British intelligence, where middle-aged men still dream of past glories and cling to filing cabinets like life rafts. A plan is hatched, a spy is dispatched, and ? spoiler ? things don?t go quite as smoothly as James Bond might have managed. This is the 1966 Pan Books paperback , the kind you might find yellowing nobly on a shelf, exhaling that comforting old-book smell of paper, dust, and regret. The cover promises intrigue; the pages deliver a brilliantly bleak reminder that espionage is less martinis and tuxedos, more raincoats and clerical errors. Crappy Old Books: we don?t sell shiny, we sell stories with mileage. Seller Inventory # 4239

The Looking Glass War
Seller: Bookbot, Prague, Czech Republic
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Rillen / Abschürfungen / Risse / Knicke; Gebrochener Buchrücken; Farbtonänderung. When the Department - faded since the war and busy only with bureaucratic battles - hears rumour of a missile base near the West German border, it seems like the perfect opportunity to regain some political standing in the Intelligence market place. The Cold War is at its height and the Department is dying for a piece of the action. Swiftly becoming carried away by fear and pride, the Department and her officers send deactivated agent Fred Leiser back into East Germany, armed only with some schoolboy training and his memories of the war. In the land of eloquent silence that is Communist East Germany, Leiser's fate becomes inseparable from the Department's. Seller Inventory # edf8a501-549d-4c03-8838-f57a57a4f217
