He defected in 1945 with 109 documents describing the USSR's espionage activities in the West.

The 'Gouzenko Affair' is often credited as a triggering event of the Cold War." - Wikipedia. "Of all those who have emerged from behind the Iron Curtain with frightening messages for the Western World, Igor Gouzenko is the most impressive witness. Readers of this book will be in a position now to comprehend the reasons for the stiffening attitude of the Western Powers towards tthe Soviet Union. It is almost a duty of citizenship to read it." - The Church Times. x, 324 pages. Prior owner's name inside front board, otherwise contents clean and unmarked with average wear. Some foxing to edges. Binding intact. Moderate wear to the uncommon dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. A quality example of this historic account.
