pickthe fact that we still find ourselves facing the mass delusion (or fall for the propaganda) that America is somehow set aside as special…a beacon of some christian ethic…amazes me. when faced with the reality of our past…we continue to prefer false histories and diseased patriotism over a true accounting of our crimes. this book reveales that at root of it…we are no different than those countries we demonize. read this!
Just started this. Perhaps a little lightweight compared with le Carre, and obviously lacking his glorious and unique prose style, but no less enjoyable for all that. #stellarimington #themoscowsleepers #book #books #bookstagram #currentlyreading #espionage #spyfiction #MI5 #MI6 #CIA #intelligenceservices
pickAnother masterful spy novel from Charles Cumming. Tightly plotted and plausible, it also fizzes with up to the minute topicality.
