reviewed Tsarist Secret Police Abroad: Policing Europe in a Modernising World on December 11, 2018
Tsarist Secret Police Abroad
Pretty interesting collection of stories about spies and spying. Most of the work concentrated on the golden age of codebreaking - namely WWII, and the author did a good job of supporting his de-mythification of some of the most famous and fascinating cases. He did a good job of setting the context for codebreaking within the wider world of espionage, and finished up with some more modern examples of codebreakers and espionage. The writing was clear and concise, the narrative was exciting without tipping over into gee-whiz-spies! territory. I could have stood to read a few more, I was enjoying it so much. Definitely an interesting read.
