Reviews
The subtitle of this book is somewhat misleading. Romerstein, a U.S. government specialist on Soviet espionage, and Levchenko, a former KGB officer, devote most of their chronicle to the history of the Kremlin's intelligence efforts against the United States since the 1920s and comparatively little to the "how" of current operations. Names, dates, aliases, descriptions of meetings, and allegations appear in overwhelming profusion but with little benefit of summary or analysis. Most librarians can rely on Richard Deacon's A History of the Russian Secret Service ( LJ 8/72; o.p.) for historical coverage and can choose from a variety of more readable descriptions of current KGB practice, such as John Barron's KGB Today (Reader's Digest Pr., 1983) and Jay Tuck's High-Tech Espionage ( LJ 8/86).
