The World Was Going Our Way
The KGB and the Battle for the the Third WorldBy Christopher Andrew, Vasili MitrokhinNarrated by Stefan RudnickiLength24h 23m
About this audiobook
In 1992, Vasili Mitrokhin, a former KGB archivist, snuck out of Russia carrying with him a vast cache of transcriptions of top-secret KGB intelligence files. The FBI later described his trove of documents as “the most complete and extensive intelligence ever achieved from any source.” Renowned historian Christopher Andrew had exclusive access to both Mitrokhin and his archive. In 1999, they published the explosive bestseller The Sword and the Shield, which provided a complete account of KGB operations in Europe and America. In The World Was Going Our Way, Andrew now chronicles the KGB’s extensive penetration of governments throughout the Third World—the battlefield on which the U.S.S.R. sought to achieve global supremacy. Andrew’s definitive account fundamentally revises the history of the Cold War, and sheds new light on the state of the world today. The KGB worked tirelessly for decades to foster anti-Americanism in the developing world, making this audiobook essential listening for anyone seeking to understand the intractable hostility America faces in the ongoing war on terror.
