Summary: Through the Eyes of the GRU
Review: After reading this book, I was struck with its lack of content.Mr. Lunev had an interesting life in the GRU, though I'm sure his description would be somewhat less positive. Nevertheless, this book gives us a good idea of what drives a defector to seek asylum --- dissatisfaction. More than anything, this book is an insight not so much into what was and is going on in the old Soviet Union as what is going on inside Mr. Lunev. If you take the information he offers and move on to the next resource, you will find it a useful minor reference in the search for the truth.

Summary: If you want good info. and detail - this is not the book
Review: I read this book with a open mind and my heart is telling me the Spy here should not have the right to defect to our country . Lunev in my mind is still a Spy and always will be a Spy ! The only thing the reader learns is , that Lunev is a Spy ! I was counting on learning more about weapons etc in Russia . I think Lunev is lying to keep his stay in the US . We have enough problems of our own . The FBI , CIA ,NSA , and many more should be ashamed of the way they do bussiness with Russia . All they do is bring in more problems for us . You can read this book if you have a couple of hours to waste on reading about how a Russian Spy is now Spying on the US with the help of our government . Lunev should have a good life now and I wish him the best . I only hope and pray that Lunev keeps his wish for the U.S to have it's freedom .

Review: The book was very disappointing. It lacks details and smacks of the GRU ego throughout. The accolades given the FBI and others makes it quite apparent who was involved in editing. Thus the lack of details, I assume. My recommendation to the author is to write another book but this time, tell the whole truth in detail - and don't let the government guys read and edit it first! Hell, it can't hurt - you have a price tag on your head anyway - maybe!
