  1. Nishit Muralia

    The book presents a great perspective. Deighton’s writing is so good that it makes you feel like you are in the scene.

  2. Tanishka

    An interesting story. The book explores the grey areas of espionage. Gets bogged down in technical details occasionally.

  3. Paras Jain

    A great exploration of a difficult character. It really makes you think about the grey areas of morality.

  4. Amit Kumar Gupta

    Compelling and insightful. Deighton’s writing is sharp. It does a great job of showing the moral complexities.

  5. Anonymous

    A captivating read. Really dives deep into the psychology. A bit too technical at certain places.

  6. Sagar Gupta

    Well-researched and provides a new perspective, but the writing style feels a bit dated. Still a worthwhile read.

  7. Abdul Aamir Tajar

    A well-researched biography. It tries to understand Fuchs’ motivations, which is commendable. A bit dry at times.

  8. Shivam Bansal

    The book is a great attempt, but does not do justice to the plot. It seemed a little biased in places, unfortunately.

  9. Kumar Keshav

    Interesting subject matter, but the book lacked a certain spark. It felt a bit too academic and less narrative.

  10. Naman Sharma

    A good account of the life of Klaus Fuchs, but it can get a little dense with details at times. Overall, recommended.

  11. Ravinder Kumar

    Gripping from start to finish. Deighton humanizes Fuchs without excusing him. A must-read for Cold War buffs.

  12. Mohd Afzal Ansari

    One of the best biographies! It made me question everything I thought I knew about the Cold War.

  13. Jayant Sangra

    Excellent analysis of a complicated man. Deighton’s prose is clear and concise. Highly recommended.

  14. Chhavi Poddar

    Fantastic book! Really engaging and gives you a lot to think about regarding the ethics of espionage.

  15. Hemant Tandon

    A thought-provoking exploration of espionage. It raises important questions about loyalty and betrayal.

  16. Shubham Jindal

    Fascinating look at Fuchs. Deighton really brings the era to life. A bit dense in places, but worth the effort.

  17. Shriram Santhosh C

    Informative and well-written. It provides a balanced perspective on Fuchs. It can be slow.

  18. Prabhat Yadav

    It’s okay, but not Deighton’s best. A bit plodding in the middle. Too focused on technical aspects, not the man himself.

  19. Uddesh Pratim Talukdar

    A good read, though I wish there was more about the impact of Fuchs’ actions. Still, recommended.

  20. Malvika Sharma

    Excellent book, the narrative keeps you hooked till the end. Really loved the author’s perspective.

  21. Bhevendra

    Enjoyable read! A complex story, but well told. At times the narrative felt a little drawn out, but overall I recommend.

  22. Archana Sebastian

    A decent biography. I learned a lot, but it felt a little detached. Could have been more emotionally engaging.
