false 1213862 5 The second volume of stunning revelations from the archives of the KGB-covering the Soviets' vast operations around the world, from the Middle East to Latin America, Africa and India <P> In 1992 the British Secret Intelligence Service exfiltrated from Russia a defector whose presence in the West remained a secret until the publication of <I>The Sword and the Shield</I> in 1999. That man was Vasili Mitrokhin, the KGB's most senior archivist. Unknown to his superiors, Mitrokhin had spent over a decade making notes and transcripts of highly classified files which, at enormous personal risk, he smuggled out of the KGB archives. The FBI described the archive as "the greatest single cache of intelligence every received by the West." <P> In <I>The Sword and the Shield</I>, Christopher Andrew revealed the secrets of the KGB's operations in the United States and Europe; now in <I>The World Was Going Our Way</I>, he has written the first comprehensive account of the KGB and its operations throughout the Third World. Our understanding of the contemporary world remains incomplete without taking into account the vast impact of the KGB in developing nations: Andrew reveals the names of political leaders on the KGB payroll as well as the KGB's successful penetration of numerous foreign governments. He also points to the many absurdities of KGB operations-such as agents attempting to assess the spread of influence of rival Chinese communism by visiting African capitals and counting the number of posters of Mao Tse Tung. <P> For decades the KGB believed that the world was going their way-and Americans at the highest reaches of government lived in fear that they were losing the Cold War in the Third World. This extraordinary book will transform our understanding of the history of the twentieth century. 1202279 13 12 2005 The World Was Going Our Way: The KGB and the Battle for The Third World total:31|5:8|4:12|3:9|2:1|1:1| 31 118 64 7 4 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 27 10:53:40 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 22 11:23:09 -0700 2007
