Spymaster

startling cold war revelations of a Soviet KGB Chief

KGB chief Sergei A. Kondrashev presents "tales of surviving Stalin's purges while superiors and colleagues did not, of plotting to reveal the Berlin Tunnel, of quelling the Hungarian Revolution and 'Prague Spring' independence movements, and of assisting in arranging the final disposition of the corpses of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun. [He] also details KGB propaganda and disinformation efforts that shaped Western attitudes throughout the Cold War"--Dust jacket flap.
