Oleg Gordievsky

Oleg Gordievsky was the highest ranking KGB officer ever to work for Britain. From 1974 to 1985, he acted as a secret agent, reporting to the British Secret Intelligence Service while continuing to work as a KGB officer. Gordievsky’s autobiography paints the most graphic picture yet of the paranoia and incompetence, intrigues and sheer nastiness of the all-encompassing and sometimes ridiculous KGB.
