2. The Spy Who Came in from the Cold

    The Spy Who Came in from the Cold is a 1963 Cold war spy novel by the British author John le Carre.

    It depicts Alec Leamas, a British agent, being sent to East Germany as a faux defector to sow disinformation about a powerful East German intelligence officer.

    It occurs during the heightened tensions that characterised the late 1950s and early 1960s Cold War, when a Warsaw Pact-NATO war sparked in Germany seemes likely. The story begins and consludes in Berlin, about a year after the completion of the Berlin wall and around the time when double-agent Heniz Felfe was exposed and tried.

    The Spy is set in the early 1960s before the assassination of John F Kennedy, before the real advent of hippies, the Vietnam war, the "Swinging sixties" and all the familiar counter-cultural baggage that goes with it its tone, if anything is dourly 1950s, its colours grey, its weather depressing.

    Worth the read ;-)
