Deception The Invisible War Between the KGB and CIA

"Investigative reporter Edward Jay Epstein defines the seldom seen universe of intelligence and counterintelligence. Set in the era of the Cold War, it explores the ultimate art of nations: Winning without fighting, or, in a single word, deception. With a new preface (2014), Epstein delves deep into the wheels-within-wheels of superpower intelligence and counterintelligence, showing ways in which the CIA and the KGB have been provoked, seduced, lured into false trails, blinded, and turned into unwitting agents. Readers will find new information on a multitude of subjects: programs involving CIA-written books published under defectors' names; the story of Yuri Nosenko, a KGB officer who defected in 1963 and was at the heart of everything that happened at the CIA for a decade; and the theories of James Angleton, the former CIA chief of counterintelligence, on the hidden motives of KGB super-mole Kim Philby. The book concludes with an ominously plausible argument that Gorbachev's glasnost is merely the sixth phase in a grand strategy of Soviet deception conceived soon after the Bolshevik Revolution"--Provided by publisher.
