Product Description

Oleg Kalugin oversaw the work of American spies, matched wits with the CIA, and became one of the youngest generals in KGB history. Even so, he grew increasingly disillusioned with the Soviet system. In 1990, he went public, exposing the intelligence agency’s shadowy methods. Revised and updated in the light of the KGB’s enduring presence in Russian politics, Spymaster is Kalugin’s impressively illuminating memoir of the final years of the Soviet Union.

Customer Reviews

Excellent book. 5
Oleg Kalugin's book is very good and very creditable. I have studied Soviet history and the history of Cold War espionage. I have heard General Kalugin speak. The accuracy of his book is verified by the information that surfaced with the opening of KGB archives in the 1990s. Individuals involved in intelligence during the Cold War also support Kalugin's book.

Spymaster5
A well-written exposure of Soviet espionage by one who was a major participant. Of interest was Kalugin's rehabilitation of Kim Philby.

Great book for those who love spy stories !!5
Major General Kalugin, formerly of the KGB, has written an excellent book about his antics and shenanigans while spying on the decadent capitalists who he ultimately joined. Great reading !!
