Oleg Kalugin oversaw the work of American spies, matched wits with the CIA, and became one of the youngest generals in KGB history. Even so, he grew increasingly disillusioned with the Soviet system. In 1990, he went public, exposing the intelligence agencys shadowy methods. Revised and updated in the light of the KGBs enduring presence in Russian politics, Spymaster is Kalugins impressively illuminating memoir of the final years of the Soviet Union.
Oleg Kalugin is a retired Major General in the Soviet KGB. He teaches regularly at the centre for Counterintelligence and Security Studies and lectures throughout the country. He lives in Washington, D.C.
