<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The second volume of stunning revelations from the archives of the KGB covers the Soviets' vast operations around the world, from the Middle East to Latin America, Africa, and India.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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 <i>The Sword and the Shield</i>, which provided a complete account of KGB operations in Europe and America. In <i>The World Was Going Our Way</i>, 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 book essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the intractable hostility America faces in the ongoing war on terror.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Christopher Andrew</b> is Professor of Modern and Contemporary History at Cambridge University. In addition to <i>The Sword and the Shield</i>, his previous books include <i>Her Majesty's Secret Service, KGB</i>, and <i>For the President's Eyes Only</i>. He lives in Cambridge, England.
