About this title:

Synopsis: In this volume Mitrokhin presents two dictionaries produced by the KGB itself to define their activities in both offensive and defensive intelligence work. The translated documents tell the story of the KGB's methods and targets and should interest the general public as well as the specialist.

About the Author: Vasily Mitrokhin was a chief archivist for the KGB. Dissolusioned by the Soviet Union, he began to write all the information on to small scraps of paper and smuggle them home where he typed it out. He buried all his records in his garden concealed in dustbins. In 1992 he contacted MI6 who then smuggled both him and the records out of the collapsing Soviet Union to safety in Britain, where he lives today.
