Leaves a lot unsaidBy TruthSeekerA dose of cold water compared to other reviews.This book leaves a lot to be desired. There are entries that leave you guessing such as Ivan Pavlovich Abramov - date of birth and death missing - entry says little about him other than he worked for the KGB. So what?Andrew Dalton Lee; an American; is included in the listing for Christopher Boyce instead of in the 'L' section.Boris Nemetsov is mentioned in 'Assassination'; but there is no entry for him.Ivan A. Zybin; Russian cryptologist genius is not mentioned.Likewise; there are no entries for Boris Devyatkin; Moishe Stern; Alexander Koral; and many more. In fairness there were and still are thousands of Russian/Soviet spies at work all over the world.Appendix G is a short list of Venona code-names and an example of Soviet encryption methods - would make more sense to separate the two subjects.The bibliography is wonderful as is the author's discussion; but confusing when listed by subject matter.All in all; there is a goldmine of information in these 421 pages and as usual for this particular subject; finding the good nuggets is difficult.
