Generally solid book that examines the relations, in the intelligence field, between the Western Allies (UK and USA) on the one hand, and the USSR on the other. The author does disclose a surprising amount of exchange between the two parties, some of which was, indeed, quite valuable. He does note that the failures encountered were as much a result of US/UK disorganization and attitudes as USSR mulishness and recalcitrance. There is a snarky tone that creeps into the book now and again, and there are a handful of editorial oddities that show the book wasn't 100% vetted (by way of example, US-USSR relations were not restored in 1935, as the book would have it, but 1933, and the author appears to confuse the Zinoviev Affair (1924) with the ARCOS Affair (1927)). That costs the book a full five stars, but it is an interesting and recommended book, nonetheless. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Bradley Smith reveals the surprisingly rich exchange of wartime intelligence between the Anglo-American Allies and the Soviet Union, as well as the procedures and politics that made such an exchange possible. Between the late 1930s and 1945, Allied intelligence organizations expanded at an enormous rate in order to acquire the secret information their governments needed to win the war. But, as Smith demonstrates, the demand for intelligence far outpaced the ability of any one ally to produce it. For that reason, Washington, London, and Moscow were compelled to share some of their most sensitive secrets. Based on interviews and extensive research in Anglo-American archives and despite limited access to tenaciously guarded Soviet documents, Smith's book persuasively demonstrates how reluctant and suspicious allies, driven by the harsh realities of total war, finally set aside their ideological differences to work closely with people they neither trusted nor particularly liked.
