David Arbel, is a former senior Israeli intelligence officer. Ran Edelist is a journalist and author.
In the second half of 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed. It was an event of major historic and global dimensions, yet this strategic transformation of international relations took the entire world totally by suprise - despite the fact that the West saw in the Communist power an ideological foe and a major military threat. During the 1980s Western intelligence services spent about USD40 billion every year, most of it to monitor the Soviet Union and its satellites. Yet all of them, without exception, were taken by surprise when the red empire crumbled. The American CIA, Britain's MI-6, Germany's BND and the French DGSE all failed to comprehend that the Soviet Union was approaching the end of its imperial existence. A handful of honest intelligence professionals who identified the signs of weakness and distress were shunted aside. The authors of this book interviewed dozens of people who dealt with Soviet affairs in the 1980s, most of them in the United States, some in Europe, the Soviet Union and Israel. The interviewees included high ranking government officials, academics and journalists, but mostly intelligence personnel. All admitted having been caught off guard, but differed over the reasons for their surprise, and who was responsible for it.

评分苏联解体既有苏联内容的原因也有西方势力的作用。一件事的发生必然有其内因和外因,内因的是赫鲁晓夫的改革政策,外因是西方势力的不断渗透。而西方是如何渗透的,就是我们要把握的关键。本书作者进行了大量采访,感觉就像是与完成任务的战士在对话一样。所以有必要了解西方情...
评分西方人对苏联研究的失败之处,在于他们没有预测能力,但他们受意识形态驱使而排斥对世界上这个地区做较为精确的社会科学分析,而这种分析可能包括“良好动机的成分,包括理性主义、利他主义、人的创造性,以及与“构造上的”宿命论和一概非法相反的不理智。真正的失败之处,在...
