Abstract

"Spies: the epic intelligence war between East and West" by Calder Walton explores the history of the intelligence war between Russia and the West, specifically the United Kingdom and the United States. The book argues that understanding this intelligence war is crucial to understanding the present geopolitical situation. It traces the origins of the Cold War back to the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 and highlights the asymmetric intelligence capabilities between East and West. The book also examines the role of intelligence in the post-Cold War era, including the rise of Vladimir Putin and the current intelligence war with China. The author draws on a wide range of sources, including secret archives, declassified documents, and interviews with former intelligence officers. Overall, the book offers a comprehensive study of the intelligence war and its implications for the present day. [Extracted from the article]
