The KGB in the Third World

A trove of the Soviet Union's darkest secrets was smuggled out of Russia in 1992. Vasili Mitrokhin, a former archivist for the KBG, defected to the West, bringing with him tens of thousands of pages documenting the whole history of KGB spying. A few years ago, Cambridge historian Christopher Andrew and Mitrokhin (who died in 2004) published a revelatory book about KGB operations in the West. A newly published second volume is called The World Was Going Our Way: The KGB and the Battle for the Third World. Andrew says the title signals just how effective -- and deluded -- the KGB was.
