Even the list of acronyms at the start of The Crown Jewels by Nigel West
and Oleg Tsarev will make your head spin. This is the labyrinthine account of
what the declassified KGB records revealed about Soviet penetration of British
secrets. It was amazingly successful. Probably the biggest success were the
activities of Klaus Fuchs in passing on nuclear bomb information. It is a
shocking and enthralling tale. Published by HarperCollins, £8.99, ISBN
0006388949.
