Abstract

The text is a book review of "SpyCatcher Legacy: Jesse Fink: The Eagle in the Mirror" by Nigel West. The review discusses the background and controversy surrounding the publication of "SpyCatcher" in 1987, which revealed evidence of Soviet penetration of the British Security Service. The review criticizes Fink's book for attempting to exonerate Dick Ellis, a suspected spy, but ultimately providing evidence that supports Ellis' guilt. The review also highlights Fink's limited understanding of the intelligence world and contradictions in his arguments. [Extracted from the article]
