Spy stories
The Haunted Wood, by Allen Weinstein.
A rather dry, factual account of Soviet espionage in the US around the Second World War.
Many interesting stories, presented in a workmanlike style. Spying as a not very exciting vocation. Non-judgemental, though. The Soviet operatives were just doing their jobs, so to speak. But the price paid by the agents was sometimes very heavy.
