"Best of Enemies" is a fantastic read of a real-life espionage thriller. It reveals the human story of two men; one from the CIA, the other KGB. Despite being Cold War "warriors" they establish an enduring friendship that complicates their lives. It is a compelling story, well-written and a most enjoyable read. I highly recommend it and suspect that Hollywood will eventually turn it into a movie.
Fascinating story, but sort of anti-climactic.
An excellent read revealing the gritty, un-airbrushed world of espionage.
I love True Stories and this is one of them.It will give you an insight to our Screwed Up world.
Gripping
The reality of the story. You do not want to put the book down
It was one of those books that I simply could not put down. I stayed up all night reading the "Best of Enemies."The Cold War was an interesting time. It was insanely dangerous in some ways, but the static nature of the conflict meant that there pockets of stability that allowed for surprising levels of cooperation.Mr. Denzenhall, the author, did a great job of including enough detail to keep the book approachable and interesting without miring us in so much minutia that the book is unreadable. Given the forty year and continent hopping span that it covers, that is an remarkable accomplishment.Many novels about espionage either heap on hyperbole or sink in a morass of partisanship. Mr. Dezenhall deftly skirts politics and keeps his protagonists very approachable and human.The story revolves around two agents, one CIA (Jack Platt, "Cowboy") and the other KGB (Gennady Vasilenko). Jack recruited Gennady to provide information to the US.Both of our protagonists were strong, clever men that performed their duties without regard to their personal safety. Neither was a hard core ideologue. They both had their flaws; of note, both were hard core alcoholics, and Gennady was explicitly a womanizer, and it was strongly implied that Jack was.The book takes us globe hopping into bases, safe houses, and training facilities around the world. It is a fun journey.While there are some cringe-worthy moments (in particular the scenes where Gennady is detained and tortured), the author keeps it blurry enough that most readers will not wake up screaming in the middle of the night.I enjoyed this book a great deal. It is an excellent portrayal of two very interesting men.I highly recommend this book.
In 1978, CIA maverick Jack Platt and KGB agent Gennady Vasilenko were new arrivals on the Washington, DC intelligence scene, with Jack working out of the CIA's counterintelligence office and Gennady out of the Soviet Embassy. Both men, already notorious iconoclasts within their respective agencies, were assigned to seduce the other into betraying his country in the urgent final days of the Cold War, but instead the men ended up becoming the best of friends-blood brothers. Theirs is a friendship that never should have happened, and their story is chock full of treachery, darkly comic misunderstandings, bureaucratic inanity, the Russian Mafia, and landmark intelligence breakthroughs of the past half century.In BEST OF ENEMIES, two espionage cowboys reveal how they became key behind-the-scenes players in solving some of the most celebrated spy stories of the twentieth century, including the crucial discovery of the Soviet mole Robert Hanssen, the 2010 Spy Swap which freed Gennady from Soviet imprisonment, and how Robert De Niro played a real-life role in helping Gennady stay alive during his incarceration in Russia after being falsely accused of spying for the Americans. Through their eyes, we see the distinctions between the Russian and American methods of conducting espionage and the painful birth of the new Russia, whose leader, Vladimir Putin, dreams he can roll back to the ideals of the old USSR.Review:I am not really sure how to review this book. The story of Jack and Gennadiy's unlikely friendship, fascinating spying career during the Cold war gets an A for sure, but how to judge the writing? I think the writers did their job in making sure that larger than life personalities of the people they wrote about shine through, so I will leave it at that.I won't deny that as much as I enjoy spy thrillers ( or used to enjoy anyway) the reason why I grabbed the book at Amazon vine was the unlikely friendship which developed between Jack and Gennadiy over the years while they had been spying on the different sides of the barricades during the cold war and for a bit of time after it ended. A lot of the events in this book I was learning about for the first time as I was reading about it. Both Jack and Gennadiy loved their countries and loved their jobs, but they did not like the bureaucracies in their jobs and vastly preferred the field work, this was one of the reason why they bonded so well, while unsuccessfully trying to recruit one another to spy for KGB/CIA.Recruitment did not happen, friendship developed instead and before I started the book I honestly could not imagine how the Russian and American managed to stay close friends, real friends while so often being put in the adversarial positions, but they did without abandoning ideological disagreements about their countries' regimes.I was also pleasantly surprised how both authors managed to convey great sympathy and respect towards Gennadiy and Jack and still did not shyaway from portraying the flaws in both men.The second part of the book felt more suspenseful than the first one for me , which was understandable since the unmasking of American traitors and what lead to it happens in the second part and also campaign to free Gennadiy from Russian prisons was taking place closer to an end. I knew they would save him, but I was still worried, so I think the writers did good.4.5 stars
