Betrayal in Berlin

Experience the heart-pounding true story of "Betrayal in Berlin." This book tells the incredible tale of "Operation Gold," an audacious CIA plan to construct a clandestine tunnel into East Berlin to tap into critical KGB and Soviet military telecommunication lines. Crossing the border between the American and Soviet sectors, the tunnel would have to be built and operated literally under the feet of their Cold War adversaries. But lurking beneath Operation Gold was a traitor, code-named Agent Diamond, who was burrowing into the operation itself. Author Steve Vogel vividly recreates a post-war Berlin filled with thousands of spies and innumerable cover stories, and delves into the story of George Blake, perhaps the most damaging mole of the Cold War. With years of archival research and rare interviews with Blake himself, this true-life spy story is as thrilling as any novel from John le Carré or Len Deighton.
