The Spy and the Traitor

The Spy and the Traitor: The Greatest Espionage Story of the Cold War, by Ben Macintyre, published in 2018, on the famous Russian spy Oleg Gordievsky (1938 Moscow,)

Ben Macintyre has aristocrat lineages from his parents;  graduated from Cambridge,  with a degree in history in 1985. Many his books have made into documentary by BBC. This one is read by John Rafter Lee.

Just as I was finishing this book, Foreign Policy Magazine published three parts report on the new Cold War, which is between US and China:

1. China used stolen data to expose CIA operatives in African and Europe

奥列格·高迪耶夫斯基(Oleg Gordievsky, 1938) 是莫斯科出生的克格勃;老爸是,老哥也是. 一窝克星. 三人中只是他双栖: 克格勃和间谍,而且做的成功.
出任第一个西方国家(丹麦)后 眼界大开…因为 ‘知道的少 才会容易相信’ 决定替英国做间谍.
他开出三个条件
1 不点名道姓 – 没人命
2 接头见面不可以录音 – 为安全
3 不收钱 – 他是为了帮助苏联变成民主国家 人人可以看到想看的书 任意听巴赫
…
M16 还是塞了好多钱, 存在一个伦敦银行里: 以示敬意
他被发现是因为美国间谍艾姆斯 (Ames) 出卖. 1985 逃到伦敦 至今
