This book offers a compelling and comprehensive account of what happened to the KGB when the Soviet Union collapsed and the worlds most powerful and dangerous secret police organization was uncloaked. As Amy Knight shows, the KGB was renamed and reorganized several times after it was officially disbanded in December 1991but it was not reformed. Knights rich and lively narrative begins with the aborted August 1991 coup, led by KGB hardliners, and takes us through the summer of 1995, when the Russian parliamentary elections were looming on the horizon. The failed coup attempt was a setback for the KGB because it led to demands from Russian democrats for a complete overhaul of the security services. As a result, the KGBs leaders were fired, its staff reduced, and its functions dispersed among several agencies. Even the elite foreign intelligence service was subjected to budget cuts. But President Yeltsin was reluctant to press on with reforms of the security services, because he needed their support in his struggle against mounting political opposition. Indeed, by the spring of 1995, the security services had regained much of what they had lost in the wake of the August coup. Some observers were even saying that they had acquired more power and influence than the old KGB.This story told by one of the foremost experts on the Soviet/Russian security services and enriched by facetoface interviews with security professionals in Moscow, is crucial to understanding Russian politics in transition. It will fascinate scholars, policymakers, and general readers interested in the fate of the KGB.

I was excited to try Spies Without Cloaks, but it didn't live up to my expectations. The game pieces felt a bit flimsy, and a couple arrived damaged. It’s a fun idea, but the execution needs work. I’m not sure I’d purchase again.

Interesting Game but Minor Issues
Spies Without Cloaks has a unique concept that I found intriguing, but the instructions could be clearer. It took a few tries to get the hang of it. Once we figured it out, we had a great time playing. I think I’ll keep it for our game collection, even if it needs a little patience to start!
