Interesting history.
This is a quintessential case of the truth being stranger than fiction. As the author notes in his epilogue, no work of fiction seems to have rivaled the level of intricacy, the depth of the intrigue, or the patently absurd realities of Chapman's story. Overall, this was an enjoyable read. Nothing about this book will give you much juicy insight into the world of international espionage. It does, however, shed a bit of light into the fiction of Flemming, le Carré, et. all.
Presumably well researched and professionally delivered.
