Purchase options and add-ons

A popular study of the KGB and its post-Soviet incarnation by the courageous and opinionated Russian journalist Yevgenia Albats, who was among the first to report on the organization in the post-Soviet Russian press. Based on extensive personal interviews with current and former agents and on material from the KGB archives, The State Within a State makes a compelling argument that the new incarnation of the KGB has grown not only in size but in influence since the fall of the Soviet Union, making it perhaps the most powerful political force in contemporary Russia.

The terrors of the KGB and much more!
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2003
Format: Hardcover
This book is an excellent expose of the terrors and tortures of the Russian KGB. One marvels at their tenacity, brutality, and animal-like ruthlessness in hunting down their prey. Prey that included innocent and harmless religious groups, student groups, and just about anyone who disagreed with the Communist Ideology. America could learn much from the terrible living history of Russia. Americans have adopted similar tactics in dealing with those who disagree with the politically correct movements of our day. These are scary times we live in, and Russia should be a lesson to us all.
