The sensational
,exploits of Moscow's
most notorious
secret agents.
"Sensational exploits" is' no exag-
gcration of the activities of the rnqsters
of duplicity you'll nicet in the pages of
FAMOUS SOVIET SPIES-a new
hard-cover volume from Books by
U.S.News & World Report. Their
stories not only pack the excitement of
spy thrillers, they also cast light on the
massive campaigns of espionage and
subversion the Soviet Union his con-
ducted around the world. ?
Perhaps the most astonishing story
is that of Richard Sorge, mastermind
of a Soviet intelligence ring in Tokyo
from 1933 until a few weeks before
Pearl harbor-and it man considered
to be the greatest spy of the Twentieth
Century. Operating as a Nazi jourrtal-
ist, Sorge gained access to the vital
secrets of both the German and
Japanese high"commands. Long before
the event, he supplied Moscow with the
actual date of the German invasion of
Russia. Later, his accurate information
that Japan would not attack the Soviet
Union enabled Stalin to shift 250,000
troops from Siberia to the western
front-ti move that may well have
changed the course of history.
For sheer excitement, the story of
George Blake is in a class by itself. A
trusted agent for British Intelligence,
Blake pretended, under orders, to be
working for the Soviets as a double
agent. In actual fact, however, he a-as
a Soviet spy, engaged in betraying
Western agents operating in Germany
and behind the iron Curtain. As it
triple agent, his amazing feats of
treachery have all the elements of the
most imaginative spy fiction.
FAMOUS SOVIET SPIES offers
many such fascinating stoiics. Special
texts include an up-to-date "Who's
Who" of Soviet spies who have
operated in the United States and a
thick dossier of terrorist activities by
Soviet Intelligence.
