    The Sword and the Shield: The Mitrokhin Archive and the Secret History of the KGB. By Christopher M. Andrew and Vasili Mitrokhin. Reviewed by Eliot A. Cohen.There are no huge surprises here; that the KGB plotted to sabotage Western power networks, routinely conducted assassinations through the early 1960s, and maniacally persecuted religious groups should not shock readers. But the weight of detail and the solid retelling of well-known stories, such as Soviet recruitment of British spies in the 1930s, make for a fascinating read. Among the more interesting conclusions is that much of the invaluable information dug up by Soviet spies never made it through the filters of paranoia, ideology, and sycophancy created by the Soviet leadership.

  11. Every day for 12 years, he scribbled information from KGB files onto little scraps of paper, hiding them in his shoe until they could later be transcribed and typed at his Moscow flat

  12.  rehashing the "active measures" carried out against the "Main Adversary," the United States.

    These include the 

  • discrediting of individuals ranging from Martin Luther King to Ronald Reagan, 
  • a protracted disinformation campaign implicating the Central Intelligence Agency in the assassination of John F Kennedy, 
  • the "outing" of FBI director J Edgar Hoover, 
  • mail bombings aimed at creating racial unrest in the American South and
  •  caches of arms and communications equipment hidden throughout the US and Europe. The list is fascinating, terrifying, and endless.
  • clearly indicates, how little Russia has relented from the terror-driven spy society it was during seven inglorious decades of Communism.
