I recently received a Borders gift card. In addition to picking up another Discworld novel, I’d like to grab some sort of historical book about actual espionage shenanigans. It could be recent events, Cold War, or older.
Any recommendations?
Thanks!

More likely fiction than non-fiction.
"Spy," which is about Robert Hanssen, is pretty good.
It's not very sexy or James Bondish but there you go.
it's about a British mathematician trying to crack the encryption codes used by the U-Boat command and it's boss
It's written by Tim Weiner, who has been writing about intelligence for over 20 years now and he did some pretty extensive research and interviewing for it. Highly recommended.
