Igor Gouzenko ????? ????????? ??????? (1919-1982) was perhaps better known for his defection, and its subsequent ramifications, from the Soviet Union (in 1945) carrying 109 documents on the USSR's espionage activities in the West. He wrote two books: one covering the story of his defection, and the present volume where the hero is closely based on Maxim Gorky.

He defected in 1945 with 109 documents describing the USSR's espionage activities in the West. He exposed Soviet intelligence's efforts to steal nuclear secrets as well as the technique of planting sleeper agents. 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.
