Summary of Gordon Corera's The Art of Betrayal
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The Iron Curtain was not just a political concept or rhetorical device, but a tangible barrier that was rising mile by mile. It was a dangerous time for those seeking to cross it, as they would face death if they were caught.
#2 The Czechoslovak army was being integrated with the Soviets, and Masek had information on it. He was a simple man, and extracting more detail was painfully slow. But after two and a half weeks, his life had yielded up forty-five pages of double-spaced typed notes.
#3 After the war, Vienna was left in a state of limbo, between life and death, East and West, for years. The city was a crossroads for those escaping the Iron Curtain and a route in for those seeking to penetrate it.
#4 The Soviets unveiled a memorial to the Red Army in the central Schwarzenbergplatz. The city was a hollowed-out shell of its imperial self. The destruction was not as complete as that inflicted on Berlin, so the still-standing but skeletal façades gave the city the feel of a film or theatre set.
