Great show! Honored to officially endorse this book, following is from upcoming AFIO--Association of Former Intel Officers review I wrote on the book: A must read!<br><br> <br>"Throughout the book, the brutal culture of the Soviet intelligence services comes to life through anecdotes, stories, biographical snippets, and new revelations. The strength of Melton and West’s book lies in its meticulous study of various versions of this history, blended with modern-day revelations and sources unavailable decades ago. <br> <br>While it contains hundreds of endnotes, the book is written in a very readable style for the generalist, with enough facts and citations to satisfy the curiosity of the most ardent of specialists." <br> <br>A truly monumental contribution! - Sean Wiswesser, former CIA Senior Operations Officer, <br> Author of “Tradecraft, Tactics, and Dirty Tricks: Russian Intelligence and Putin's Secret War“

This book is amazing. The research that went into this book is stunning! I highly recommend this book for a number of reasons….first I think it’s the definitive book on the Trotsky assassination and secondary it is fast, paced and exciting to read. Well done!
