Stalin's American Spy. Noel Field, Allen Dulles and the East European Show Trials

摘要

Though Noel Field's career as a Soviet spy in the United States barely lasted one year, his actions - both real and invented - had wide-reaching consequences. Tony Sharp's valuable monograph has two goals: to give a biographical account of Field's life, especially his time as a Soviet spy, and to explain how the Soviet Union used Field to its own ends during the Eastern European show trials. In both, Sharp succeeds. This book rewards readers with unique insight into the life of this complicated Cold War figure.
