Book Review: Spies: The Epic Intelligence War Between East and West

The following is a book review I submitted for an assignment in the Harvard Extension School class Intelligence and International Security

This is one of the most well-written and well-researched history books I’ve had the pleasure of reading. Calder Walton is a professor at Harvard Kennedy School and Assistant Director of the Intelligence Project at the Belfer Center. This book reflects this background, and draws on an extensive archive of declassified government records, first hand accounts, and archival research.
