Murphy brings to his subject both knowledge of Russian history and an insider’s grasp of how intelligence is gathered, analyzed and used—or not.”—Niall Ferguson, New York Times Book Review"A fascinating and meticulously researched account of mistaken assumptions and errors of judgment that culminated in Hitler’s invasion of Russia in June 1941.

"'A fascinating and meticulously researched account of mistaken assumptions and errors of judgment that culminated in Hitler's invasion of Russia in June 1941. Never before has this fateful period been so fully documented.' Henry A. Kissinger 'Murphy comes to his subject as a retired chief of Soviet operations in the Central Intelligence Agency. The result is an account by an American intelligence insider about the practice of espionage and counter-espionage in Stalin's USSR. And it is a gripping tale he tells.' Robert Service, Sunday Times 'If, after the war, the Soviet Union had somehow been capable of producing an official inquiry into the catastrophe of 6/22 - comparable in its mandate to the 9/11 commission here - its report might have read a little like this book... Murphy brings to his subject both knowledge of Russian history and an insider's grasp of how intelligence is gathered, analyzed and used - or not.' Niall Ferguson, New York Times Book Review"
