The Spy Who Came in from the Cold is a 1963 Cold War spy novel by the British author John le Carré. It depicts Alec Leamas, a British intelligence officer, being sent to East Germany as a faux defector to sow disinformation about a powerful East German intelligence officer. It serves as a sequel to le Carré's previous novels Call for the Dead and A Murder of Quality, which also featured the fictitious British intelligence organisation, "The Circus", and its agents George Smiley and Peter Guillam.
Quotes by John le Carré
From WikiquoteWhere I kick myself is where I think I actually contributed to the myth of the intelligence services being very good.
In every war zone that I've been in, there has been a reality and then there has been the public perception of why the war was being fought. In every crisis, in every confrontation that has come my way, the issues have been far more complex than the public has been allowed to know.
Every writer wants to be believed. But every writer knows he is spurious; every fiction writer would rather be credible than authentic.
