Publisher's Synopsis
Behind the Cold War an unseen war was waged for half a century between the secret services of the East and the West. Brian Crozier not only witnessed this unseen war from the inside, but also played an active role in it. Although he was not an exclusive member of any one agency, he was in contact with and supplied information to the CIA, Britain's SIS (MI6) and the secret service agencies of France, West Germany, Holland, Belgium, Argentina, Iran, Egypt, Israel and others. In 1977, he created an international operational secret service in the public sector known as "The 61". Over the next ten years, it gave informal and confidential information on the Cold War to President Reagan and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.;The book is both a personal memoir and an account of the unseen war waged without the public's knowledge. It throws light on the events of the last five troubled decades, and shows how, in the final analysis, the West did not win the Cold War - the Soviets lost it.
