THE FOURTH GEORGE SMILEY NOVEL When the Department - faded since
the war and busy only with bureaucratic battles - hears rumours of
a missile base near the West German border, it seems the perfect
opportunity to regain some standing in the Intelligence world.
Desperate for glory and determined to outdo their rivals at the
Circus, including George Smiley, they 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 is no longer
his own. Showing men carried away by fear and pride, The Looking
Glass War is a powerful, moving story of human frailty. 'A
devastating and tragic record of human, not glamour, spies' New
York Herald Tribune 'A book of rare and great power' Financial
Times
