Can you recommend any books about KGB, FSB, GRU, and SVR?
We have a range of interviews on espionage and spying, with book recommendations on the subject from journalists, academics, former intelligence officers as well writers of spy novels?
*The World Was Going Our Way: The KGB and the Battle for the the Third World – Newly Revealed Secrets from the Mitrokhin Archive* by Christopher Andrew and Vasili Mitrokhin
*The Sword and the Shield: The Mitrokhin Archive and the Secret History of the KGB* by Christopher Andrew and Vasili Mitrokhin.

I recommend Under a Cruel Star. Many of the books I read on the subject were in their original language but I’ll check the translated titles. Will also ask my dad – he was a political prisoner during the USSR and read many books on the subject afterwards
