DECEPTION: THE UNTOLD STORY OF EAST-WEST ESPIONAGE TODAY(DECEPTION: SPIES, LIES AND HOW RUSSIA DUPES THE WEST)
Book ID/图书代码: 11701212B59460
English Summary/英文概要: From the capture of Sidney Reilly, the "Ace of Spies," by Lenin’s Bolsheviks in 1925 to the deportation from the United States of Anna Chapman, the "Redhead Under the Bed," in 2010, Kremlin and Western spymasters have battled for supremacy for nearly a century. Edward Lucas persuasively demonstrates that "for most of the past decades, the Kremlin’s spymasters have run rings around their Western adversaries."
In Deception, Lucas uncovers the real story of Chapman and her colleagues in Britain and America, unveiling their clandestine missions and the spy hunt that led to their downfall. Some of Russia’s spies have had academic and professional qualifications that enhanced their contacts at the top of American politics and finance. Lucas reveals unknown triumphs and disasters of Western intelligence in the cold war, providing the background to the new world of industrial and political espionage. To tell the story of post-Soviet espionage, Lucas draws on exclusive interviews with Russia’s top NATO spy, Herman Simm, and unveils the horrific treatment of a Moscow lawyer who dared to challenge the ruling criminal syndicate there.
Once the threat from Moscow was international communism, now it comes from the siloviki, Russia’s ruthless "men of power." "The outcome," Lucas argues, "will determine whether the West brings Russia toward its standards of liberty, legality, and cooperation, or whether Russia will shape the West’s future as we accommodate (or even adopt) the authoritarian crony capitalism that is the Moscow regime’s hallmark."
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 自1925年列寧的布爾什維克黨人抓到“傳言是007邦德原型”的英國王牌間諜西德尼•萊利,到2010年美女間諜安娜•查普曼被美國FBI逮捕,驅逐出美國國界。克林姆宮和西方間諜高手為世界絕對權力的獲取戰鬥了一個世紀,但本書作者愛德華 盧卡斯告訴我們,在過去的十年中,克林姆林的超級間諜的成果已經遠遠超越了西方敵手。
在本書中盧卡斯揭露了安娜•查普曼和她的同事們的真實故事。他們完成的秘密任務以及逮到他們的圍捕行動。有些俄羅斯的間諜有與美國高層政治和金融精英接觸的資歷和學術才能。盧卡斯揭露了俄羅斯間諜完成的不為人知的任務,西方智者在冷戰中的失敗,為新世紀工商業領域和政治領域的間諜提供了各種背景情況。
為了講述蘇聯倒臺後的間諜,盧卡斯引用了他與俄羅斯在北大西洋公約組織的頂級間諜Herman Simm之間的訪談,揭露了敢於挑戰當地犯罪財團的莫斯哥律師的恐怖後果。
曾經威脅西方國家的是莫斯哥的國際共產主義,現在這種威脅卻來自於俄國冷酷的“掌權者”。盧卡斯說“到最後我們才會知道,是西方將俄羅斯改變為一個標準的自由、平等合作的國家,亦或是俄羅斯將重塑西方的未來,此時,我們都只能順應專制權貴資本主義,染上莫斯哥的特性。”(Celia)
Awards/获奖情况:“Mr. Romney’s smug critics might laugh a bit less once they read Deception, Edward Lucas’s riveting follow-up to his prescient2008 book on Russia…. Mr. Lucas’s account of his jailhouse interview with [Herman] Simm is one of the highlights of Deception, as is his meticulous reconstruction of the way the SVR recruited, ran and ultimately abandoned the Estonian. One depressing conclusion from reading Deception is that Russians are much better than their Western counterparts at the spy business. Another is that, even now, the West doesn’t much seem to care that its secrets are being pilfered by a regime that wishes us ill…. Anyone who imagines that Mr. Obama’s ‘reset’ has done much to change that picture should read this sobering book.”—Bret Stephens, The Wall Street Journal
“Lucas’s account is a masterful achievement, blending first-class reporting with the flare of John le Carré and Daniel Silva.”—C.C. Lovett, CHOICE
