SPYMASTER: Startling Cold War Revelations of a Soviet KGB Chief by Tennent H. Bagley

Narrated by Bronson Pinchot

     The Source Is More Valuable than the Secret

The world of espionage is always fascinating. This is an account of one spy’s career from Stalin’s era to the time of Gorbashev. The story of  Sergey Kondrashev, told posthumously, contains secrets he was not able to relate in his own autobiography.  One of the revelations was an insight into one of the primary causes of the Korean War.

I always enjoy the sonorous voice of Bronson Pinchot. When narrating fiction I appreciate his dramatic character voices. This being a non-fiction book, we have to settle for his soothing voice, precise diction and great pacing.
