Miernik Dossier por Charles McCarry
Cold war spy novel that works on many levels, and is interesting on all of them. The way in which the story is told is unusual: a collection of reports, transcripts, and other materials presumably drawn from the files of an espionage agency. The characters are compellingly drawn, yet ambiguous -- who is working for who? And the morality of the whole enterprise becomes an issue. Great read.
