'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 exposé 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' Sunday Telegraph Review: Geopolitical Insights - I heard about 2nd part of this book from the movie - The Tashkent files. Being really honest, don't buy the book if all you are looking for is some night read. You might need dictionary every moment or so. Me being interested in geopolitical insights was the sole reason I got it. It's a great read so far. Review: Extradinary - Worth of buying and really the paper quality is good

Geopolitical Insights
I heard about 2nd part of this book from the movie - The Tashkent files. Being really honest, don't buy the book if all you are looking for is some night read. You might need dictionary every moment or so. Me being interested in geopolitical insights was the sole reason I got it. It's a great read so far.

started reading it ... 1000 pages to go. but reading needs full concentration .. also read it only and only if you have interest in the history and the past... after all its not a fantasy fiction !!!

A fantastic read
The Mitrokhinarchives opens up an additional perspective on understanding global politics. I read the part on India, Pakistan and Bangladesh and it helped me understand the politics of the left in the three countries. More important, it helped me understand why intelligence is critical for policymaking, especially good intelligence. The KGB had become too top heavy and regimented which is why it began to err in analysing intel.
