"Fact as fascinating as fiction, Spy Wars delivers a briskly paced survey of Canada's "secret" history. You'll meet affable Rudi Hermann, who by day ran a popular downtown Toronto restaurant (Harold's Famous Delicatessen) & after hours operated the KGB's North American spy network. Here is Gerda Munsinger, the German "entertainer" and Soviet intelligence employee whose relations with a Tory cabinet minister rocked Ottawa. And French diplomat Philippe Rossillon, who supported Quebec independence so ardently that Pierre Trudeau denounced him as a foreign agent. While the Cold War may be over, Granatstein & Stafford argue that "the spy wars will continue." The antagonists & the stakes may be different, but Canada will remain enmeshed in a world of saboteurs and counter-terrorists, spies and spycatchers."
