Reviews
Detailed, well written and accessible to general readers, the book mines rich veins of paradox and complexity. * Gregory Feifer, Times Literary Supplement *
With lively stories from the everyday of espionage, Tromly shows how Cold War spy operations moved between borders and national groups. Scholars of Cold War intelligence, postwar Germany, and the transnational aspects of Russian history will want to read this book. * Seth Bernstein, University of Florida, Gainesville, Canadian Slavonic Papers *
Cold War Exiles and the CIA makes a strong case against covert action programs conducted by inexperienced intelligence officers and supervised by managers overseen by politicians, all seeking outcomes not supported by operational reality. * Studies in Intelligence *
Tromly's book...will remain an essential guide to the murky world of covert operations, anti-Soviet plots, and propaganda in the early Cold War. * Mark Edele, University of Melbourne, Australian Book Review *
