The Mitrokhin Archive 2: The KGB in the World Christopher Andrew, Vasili Mitrokhin

For a quarter of a century the KGB believed that the Third World was the arena in which it could win the Cold War. "The world", claimed Moscow, "was going our way". This book discloses the KGB"s secret contacts with a series of world leaders, among them Castro, Allende, Nasser, Saddam Hussein and Mengistu, as well as with terrorist hijackers and communist parties around the globe. It also shows the enormous resources devoted, with varying degrees of success, to trying to determine the course of events in countries as different as India (the main force for KGB active measures in Asia) and Afghanistan (where the KGB took the lead in the Soviet invasion). The revelations range from the shocking to the absurd - Soviet agents assessing the spread of their great rival, Chinese communism, by counting the changing number of Mao Zedong posters in Africa - and take the story all the way to the disintegration of the Eastern Bloc.
