In the second half of 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed. It was an event of major historic and global dimensions, yet this strategic transformation of international relations took the entire world totally by suprise - despite the fact that the West saw in the Communist power an ideological foe and a major military threat. During the 1980s Western intelligence services spent about USD40 billion every year, most of it to monitor the Soviet Union and its satellites. Yet all of them, without exception, were taken by surprise when the red empire crumbled. The American CIA, Britain's MI-6, Germany's BND and the French DGSE all failed to comprehend that the Soviet Union was approaching the end of its imperial existence. A handful of honest intelligence professionals who identified the signs of weakness and distress were shunted aside. The authors of this book interviewed dozens of people who dealt with Soviet affairs in the 1980s, most of them in the United States, some in Europe, the Soviet Union and Israel. The interviewees included high ranking government officials, academics and journalists, but mostly intelligence personnel. All admitted having been caught off guard, but differed over the reasons for their surprise, and who was responsible for it.

读后感
“每一个受访者都毫不犹豫地承认苏联崩溃让他们吃了一惊，只是每个人对于这种毫无察觉给出的缘由却都互有不同。”这一点也让我很吃惊，一个重大的历史事件，也许往往并不能依靠分析研究，预测出准确形态。作者认为，当历史处于转折点时，运转的情报收集机制再复杂精巧，洞察转...
评分苏联解体既有苏联内容的原因也有西方势力的作用。一件事的发生必然有其内因和外因，内因的是赫鲁晓夫的改革政策，外因是西方势力的不断渗透。而西方是如何渗透的，就是我们要把握的关键。本书作者进行了大量采访，感觉就像是与完成任务的战士在对话一样。所以有必要了解西方情...
评分书中围绕西方情报机构对苏联解体的未预见性和在冷战时期西方与苏联，以美国中央情报局为代表的西方与苏联的情报机构克格勃的较量为引线。详细分析了当时美国、英国、苏联情报机构的开展，核武器对其机构的影响。以及英国盲从的相信美国的情报，导致了对苏联局势的误判。对当时...
评分既然美国等西方国家的情报机构几乎无孔不入，而且对于其主要对手——前苏联的监控程度可能是最为集中的，为什么前苏联的解体却没有被这些情报机构事先察觉？这不能不说是一个近似于谜一样的问题。这本书就是分析了西方情报机构为何不能预测了预判诸如此类的“大事件”。这本书...
评分阅读本书好像是在政客和情报官员的关系迷雾中漫步，其相识的分析不仅具备学术性，而且极富故事性，可以使普通读者了解冷战时期世界是如何变动的。其实这个故事挺可悲的，清包机构庞大臃肿，垄断专权，资源丰富，却未能遇见历史转折点的到来。这是近代历史上情报机构最明显的失败。
