The allies and the British had more capable spies than Germany‚ which meant that their spies were disruptive‚ which meant that the countries could suppress its counters for longer‚ evidently leading to the turnaround of the war.

John le Carré: The Spy Who Came in from the Cold This book is a spy story‚ about bluffs between the British Secret Service and the German Democratic Republic. I found it very difficult to understand.

He is recalled to the Circus‚ because there are no agents left. Control asks him to ’stay in the cold’. That means one last mission for
