SPIES BENEATH BERLIN

English Summary/英文概要： Operation Stopwatch/Gold, said CIA chief Alan Dulles, was one of the most valuable and daring projects ever undertaken. In 1955 it ran a tunnel 800 metres under the Russian sector of Cold War Berlin, and for more than a year tuned into Red Army intelligence. This was an almost impossible trick: apart from the technical wizardry needed, any noise or vibration could have given the game away.

That the operation succeeded is even more surprising than it looks. Trust, even between allies, was dangerous. Despite the Burgess and Maclean affair, the Americans had decided that co-operation was safe once more, and Stopwatch/Gold was a joint CIA/MI6 project using British expertise from a prototype in Vienna. This was a mistake: there was another mole in the British secret services, and the KGB knew about the tunnel even before it was built.

This book tells the story. David Stafford draws on eyewitness interviews and the full range of sources. Ironically, it was the Russians who supplied the minutes of the meeting that OK’d the tunnel. They had been taken by George Blake (who was of course the mole).

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 被美国中情局局长艾伦•杜勒斯称作金表行动,堪称是美国中央情报局和英国情报部门“有史以来最有价值的，和大胆的行动项目之一。1955年, 一个以维也纳为版本的行动为参照的一个不同以往的联合行动项目启动了,他们在苏联冷战控制下的柏林，秘密建造了一条800米的隧道，不到一年就可以监听到红军的情报。但苏联潜伏在英国情报机关的（‘鼹鼠’）间谍,乔治•布莱克, 从行动一开始就向苏联透露了情报,甚至连克格勃在项目启动前就掌握了隧道建成的计划。然而,尽管如此,没有人向红军情报部门发出警告,而一些重要情报还是仍然继续通过这条隧道源源不断向英国和美国人所利用,乃至于最后被西方世界所共享。这是第一本详尽细述冷战时期谍战的故事,不尽让人联想起另一本以此为背景的电影《Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy》 …… (Sandy)

Awards/获奖情况：’ "Spies Beneath Berlin" delivers surprise after surprise, and makes all previous accounts of of this amazing story quite obsolete. It’s a real page turner too -- I read it virtually at a sitting’ (Len Deighton )
