摘要

When it comes to double-crossing and disinformation, few things in espionage match a publisher's blurb on the back of modern thrillers. Yet the claim that Robert Littell "does for the CIA what Mario Puzo did for the Mafia" is not a bad introduction to a thriller which has sold 100,000 copies in America in the past three months and is well on the way to becoming the summer's beach bestseller. Like "The Godfather", "The Company" introduces the reader to an engaging underworld that you always had an inkling existed. Like Puzo's epic, this is a sprawling, occasionally disorganised, saga that follows a generation of spooks (and eventually their children) through the whole cold war, beginning in the chaotic world of post-war Berlin and ending with the failed coup against Mikhail Gorbachev. Along the way, the story visits the Hungarian uprising, the Bay of Pigs and Afghanistan; and it brings in Mossad, MI6 and the various incarnations of the KGB.
