Finished reading "THE MITROKHIN ARCHIVE II: The KGB and the World" by Vasili Mitrokhin and Christopher Andrew. Mitrokhin was a senior archivist in the former Soviet Union's state security and intelligence agency, the KGB where he worked from 1948. Every day for many years he smuggled handwritten notes and extracts from thousands of KGB files and hid them in his home before retiring in 1984. Eight years later he defected to Britain with his mammoth cache of secrets. Assisted by British intelligence scholar Christopher Andrew, he transformed those documents into a two-volume book. Volume I contains extraordinary details of KGB operations in Europe and North America. Volume II focuses on the Third World, including Latin America and the Caribbean. Guyana and Forbes Burnham are mentioned, but not Cheddi Jagan.
Vasili Mitrokhin died in 2004.
