The Book I want to read is an indepth analysis of what each side knew about the other from the work of spies and other sources.
Yet...we have to remember just how close we came to real nuclear war in 1983....but did not due to the work of the KGB and GRU....despite the Soviet Nuclear Arsenal being cocked and locked....waiting for the Release Order from Andropov.
The Walker Spy case combined with the German fellow at Nato....(Raub was it ?) really put the USA in a very real risk of losing whatever war we would have fought with the Soviets.
