" Not Le Carre's best work, but certainly worth a read. His shift from Cold War tension to post-arms race economic escalation is not quite seamless, but it's darn close. In many ways, the author's style works better in this kind of environment, where threats of actual violence are rare, and the overwhelming paranoia stems not from physical fear, but a sense of unconscious but irredeemable lapses of ethics.
