Pavel Sudoplatov served the KGB for over 50 years, at one point controlling more than 20,000 guerrillas, moles, and spies. But his involvement with the most nefarious Soviet activities made Sudoplatov an unwanted witness, and he was arrested in 1953. Despite torture and solitary confinement he refused to "confess", disavowing any criminal actions. He spent 15 years in prison, and 20 more in rehabilitation. This is an astonishing memoir and a singular historical document of a man who knew and did too much for the Soviet empire. New Foreword by Robert Conquest. **Lightning Print On Demand Title

From the rear cover
But his involvement with the most nefarious Soviet activities-- and the rulers who ordered them-- made Sudoplatov an unwanted witness, and he was arrested in 1953 after Beria's fall. Despite torture and solitary confinement he refused to "confess", disavowing any criminal actions. He spent fifteen years in prison, then struggled two decades more for rehabilitation.
"Special Tasks" is an astonishing memoir and a singular historical document of a man who knew and did too much for the Soviet empire.
