Why read it?
1 author picked Our Kind of Traitor as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love the fact that Le Carre’s books are written by a man who was actually a member of MI6, if only for a short while. He takes real-world scenarios and writes a compelling story around them.

From Mark's list on the authentic world of espionage.
