"While I think this was a decent book for what it is, I was disappointed in what it is not - namely, I was looking forward to learning about the actual process of capturing, breaking and then using the Venona intercepts, which was only covered in the first chapter of this book. The remainder dealt with how the Venona decrypts served to verify (or unmask for the first time) numerous American officials and private citizens as Soviet agents. While some of this was interesting, the very meticulous presentation by the authors seemed a bit much, especially since I started this looking for something else entirely. Of course, it isn't the authors' fault that they didn't write the book I wanted them to - but nonetheless, I don't think I can recommend this outside of use as a starting point for research purposes."
"This book is amazing in how NOT boring it is! While an academic work looking into spying between the Soviets and the West, its fascinating subject matter and writing style keep the reader's interest peaked."
