If, like me, you own all his books, have read most of them, plus much of his newspaper writing, understand this to be the highest praise. I found The Spy and the Traitor to be Ben Macintyre’s finest work. You’re stuck with my thoughts and reaction to the book. So you want me to tell you about a book John le Carre calls “The best true spy story I have ever read”? How about you take the master’s word at face value, buy the book and get to opening the cover? If Macintyre hadn’t used “the greatest espionage story of the cold war” as his subtitle every reviewer would have utilized the line. But it’s all true, and how Macintyre weaves everyone’s stories together is masterful.' John Koenig ‘ If I saw this plot in a movie I’d laugh at how implausible it is. Spybrary's John Koenig reviews The Spy and The Traitor by Ben Macintyre The Koenig Memorandum
Here is his latest – The Spy and The Traitor by Ben Macintyre.
When he wasn't scaling ladders (why are the good spy books always on the top shelf?) or scouring dark nooks and crannies he penned several review of recent spy reads. Spybrarian John Koenig is back from his expedition visiting almost every used book store from Michigan to Washington State.
