About This Book
A satire about an incompetent military espionage organization trying to regain its former glory by attempting to verify a Communist defector's story of a Soviet missile buildup in East Germany. While still funded by Whitehall, the organization is losing ground against the Circus which is more professional and more organized, as well as more successful.
