The name of Vasily Mitrokhin burst into the public's consciousness
in the autumn of 1999, with the publication of The Mitrokhin
Archive and the exposure of a grandmother living in South London as
a Soviet spy. The resultant enquiry conducted by the Parliamentary
Intelligence and Security Committee paid tribute to the unique
contribution which Mitrokhin had made to the public's understanding
of how the former KGB had operated, and to Mitrokhin's commitment
and bravery in accumulating and preparing his archive alone and in
secret for 20 years before defecting to the United Kingdom in 1992.

'One of the biggest intelligence coups in recent years' The Times
For years KGB operative Vasili Mitrokhin risked his life hiding
top-secret material from Russian secret service archives beneath
his family dacha. When he was exfiltrated to the West he took with
him what the FBI called 'the most complete and extensive
intelligence ever received from any source'. This extraordinary
bestselling book is the result. 'Co-authored in a brilliant
partnership by Christopher Andrew and the renegade Soviet archivist
himself ... This is a truly global expose of major KGB penetrations
throughout the Western world' The Times 'This tale of malevolent
spymasters, intricate tradecraft and cold-eyed betrayal reads like
a cold war novel' Time 'Sensational ... the most informed and
detailed study of Soviet subversive intrigues worldwide' Spectator
'The most comprehensive addition to the subject ever published'
