Description
THE THIRD GEORGE SMILEY NOVEL Alec Leamas is tired. It's the 1960s, he's been out in the cold for years, spying in the shadow of the Berlin Wall for his British masters. Now Control wants to bring him in at last - but only after one final assignment. He must travel deep into the heart of Communist Germany and betray his country, a job that he will do with his usual cynical professionalism. But when George Smiley tries to help a young woman Leamas has befriended, it may prove the worst thing he could ever have done. Le Carre's breakthrough work of 1963 was an award-winning number one global bestseller and brought him international renown, redefining the spy story as a gritty and terrible tale of men who are caught up in politics beyond their imagining. 'The best spy story I have ever read' Graham Greene 'A masterpiece, the best espionage novel ever written' John Banville 'Superbly constructed, with an atmosphere of chilly hell' J. B. Priestley

Not just a spy novel
Is this a spy novel? Yes it is.
Does that tell you what the book is like? Not at all.
I read this book today, almost five decades after it was written and it is very impressive. When I think of a cold war era spy novel I think of books full of details about the mechanics of espionage, books which impress by their knowledge of how the game is played, books which contain a thrill a minute and are full of three-letter acronyms like KGB, CIA and MI6. Something like what Frederick Forsyth would ...

A Classic
If you like cold war centric stories, tales which have a twist in a tale but feels quite realistic throughout then you must read this. It is not very long but the great characterization and the the novelty of reading a story where everything is not hunky dory with a cold war hero is what will make this book remembered for a long time.

A must read for spy thriller lover
Definitely a classic spy thriller; may be the best till date. This does not give you the feel like "You are reading an action movie" [ which is the case for many Lee Child or Robert Ludlum books ; as per me ] but a book.
The plot is gripping and you'll be eager to find the end of it!!!! Basically this book keeps you hooked to it ... and actually finished it in 6 hours [ I could not wait]. An insightful portrait of a spy and espionage during cold war time; and how dirty and claver the game can...
