Sharing Secrets with Stalin : How the Allies Traded Intelligence, 1941-1945

Based on interviews & extensive research in Anglo-American archives & despite limited access to tenaciously guarded Soviet documents, this book persuasively demonstrates how reluctant & suspicious allies, driven by the harsh realities of total war, finally set aside their ideological differences to work closely with people they neither trusted nor particularly liked. Reveals the surprisingly rich exchange of wartime intelligence between the Anglo-American Allies & the Soviet Union, as well as the procedures & politics that made such an exchange possible. Provides extremely important revelations & striking portraits etched in acid of the main actors.
