Story
A landmark collaboration between a thirty-year veteran of the CIA and a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, The Main Enemy is the inside story of the CIA-KGB spy wars, told through the actions of the men who fought them. Based on hundreds of interviews with operatives from both sides, The Main Enemy puts us inside the heads of CIA officers as they dodge surveillance and walk into violent ambushes in Moscow. This is the story of the generation of spies who came of age in the shadow of the Cuban missile crisis and rose to run the CIA and KGB in the last days of the Cold War.

Reviewed: 04-20-17
I have been reading many books lately on the subjects of atheism, free thinking, agnosticism etc. Mr. Kelly's book has been one of the best in providing me with responses to the unending ridicule I receive when I 'come out of the closet' about my non-belief in a deity or deities.
