 From The Publisher
The Sword and the Shield gives us by far the most complete picture we have ever had of the KGB and its operations in the United States and Europe. It is based on an unprecedented, top-secret archive described by the FBI as "the most complete and extensive intelligence ever achieved from any source." Vasili Mitrokhin worked for almost thirty years in the foreign intelligence archives of the KGB. In 1972 he was made responsible for moving these archives, including all the files on the KGB's deep-cover operatives, to a new headquarters outside Moscow.

Unknown to his superiors, however, Mitrokhin spent over a decade making transcripts of these highly classified files which he smuggled daily out of the archives and kept beneath his dacha floor. As a result, no one who spied for the Soviet Union at any point between the Bolshevik Revolution and the 1980s can now be sure that his or her secrets are safe. Christopher Andrew has had exclusive access to both Mitrokhin and his archive. Supplementing this treasure trove of KGB secrets with extensive research in other archives, published and unpublished sources, he has written a book which forces us to acknowledge that there was indeed an enemy -- and that he was very much in our midst.
