When the Department - faded since the war and busy only with bureaucratic battles - hears rumours of a missile base near the West German border, it seems the perfect opportunity to regain some standing in the Intelligence world. Desperate for glory and determined to outdo their rivals at the Circus, including George Smiley, they send deactivated agent Fred Leiser back into East Germany, armed only with some schoolboy training and his memories of the war. In the land of eloquent silence that is Communist East Germany, Leiser's fate is no longer his own.
Showing men carried away by fear and pride, The Looking Glass War is a powerful, moving story of human frailty.

Отзывы
Вот здесь мне было даже немного жалко Фреда Лайзера. Его отправляют в Восточную Германию, причём подготовка у него далеко не такая, как хотелось бы для подобной миссии. И постепенно становится понятно, что люди, которые отправили его туда, сами не до конца понимают, во что ввязались. Мне понравилось именно это ощущение — решения наверху принимают одни, а последствия потом разгребает совершенно другой человек. Некоторые моменты были медленными, зато ближе к концу уже прям неприятно интересно.
