The ‘Trust’ the History of a Soviet Provocation Operation

The Trust details the history and operations of a Soviet counterintelligence network put in place by the Cheka in the early years of the Soviet Union. The operation involved setting up a fake anti-communist organization in order to infiltrate and destroy real anti-communist groups. The authors, Christopher Andrew and Vasili Mitrokhin, draw on secret Russian archival sources to provide a unique and compelling account of one of the most daring and successful deception operations of any intelligence service in history.
