The KGB is the biggest spy machine for the gathering of secret information that the world has ever seen. Without its omnipresent supervision of every aspect of Russian life, the totalitarian Union of Soviet Socialist republics would cease to exist. It is the KGB militia which guards the 41, 595 miles of the country's sea and land frontiers; its the KGB which monitors the educations in Soviet schools, academies and universities and all the permitted arts. The KGB also controls all printed material through its 70,000 censors. It directs, frequently obscenly, the sciences and medicine. It controls the police and military. Through its informers and emplaced officials, it has power over the prisons and labour camps and in every city, town, village and hamlet, the KGB has established informant networks to learn of the behaviour and attitudes held by every one of the 268,000,000 inhabitants of the USSR.
In addition to the tyranny exercised by the KGB within the USSR, there are over 250,000 secret agents working overseas carrying out the aims of the KGB, 'to conduct active measures which will exacerbate the differences between individual countries, cause tension between neutral countries and developing countries on the one hand and western nations on the other hand'. To carry out this aims, the KGB spent no less than 1452,344,000 in 1980 alone.
Brian Freemantle is the creator of Charlie Muffin, the battered secret agent who features in a sequence of best selling thrillers. Like Charlie Muffin, Brian Freemantle has devoted many years, both as a journalist and as a writer, to studying the activities of deadly KGB. His research has enabled him to write a chilling authentic account of the work of Soviet secret police. He provides a detailed analysis of both the past and the present structure of the KGB, and with a wealth of horrifying stories and case histories, reveals the extraordinary lengths to which their agents will go. For the first time, the full extent of the KGB's blatant infiltration of United Nations is revealed and the terrifying thoroughness of their activities in fomenting revolution in Third-World countries. The author uses all the resources of a master storyteller to recount the horrifying story of a secret army whose everyday activities involve murder, torture and blackmail.
The book is illustrated with over sixty photographs illustrating scenes of life within the USSR under the tyranny of the KGB and also many of the people actively concerned with its workings.
