Review:
"Mr. Romney's smug critics might laugh a bit less once they read "Deception", Edward Lucas's riveting follow-up to his prescient2008 book on Russia.... Mr. Lucas's account of his jailhouse interview with [Herman] Simm is one of the highlights of "Deception", as is his meticulous reconstruction of the way the SVR recruited, ran and ultimately abandoned the Estonian. One depressing conclusion from reading "Deception" is that Russians are much better than their Western counterparts at the spy business. Another is that, even now, the West doesn't much seem to care that its secrets are being pilfered by a regime that wishes us ill.... Anyone who imagines that Mr. Obama's 'reset' has done much to change that picture should read this sobering book."--Bret Stephens, "The Wall Street Journal" "Lucas's account is a masterful achievement, blending first-class reporting with the flare of John le Carre and Daniel Silva."--C.C. Lovett, "CHOICE "
