I really enjoyed this book. I used to think that all the effort put into espionage has, in the long run, not been worth it. This book disproves that idea. Read the real background of the Enigma's solution (a Polish mathematician), the worst atomic spy, the Venona decrpyts and even a spy who aided us in the Solidarity movement and the end of communism.
