Spy rings run in reverse
Review compares J. C. Masterman and Cookridge works on wartime espionage. Masterman’s 1945 report and Cookridge’s Gehlen study trace deception tactics, postwar intelligence networks, and the use of ex Nazis in Western agencies. Both works mix critique with vivid air of Cold War espionage, noting limits of Britain’s counter espionage.
