| | 1. |  | The Spy Who Came in From the Cold
from Walker & Company
Price: $12.92
Customer Review:
Recommended by a Washington Post article, this book does not disappoint. It starts off with action in Berlin then spins a web of deceit and lies that keep the reader engrossed. We follow our main character through twists and turns and in different countries. The climax? Completely out of left-field.... more info

from Scribner
Price: $4.99
Customer Review:
TINKER, TAYLOR, SOLDIER, SPY
This one of le Carre's best stories, quite dark but very well written. The times it describes (the 70s) are history of a different age, when Europeans in particular lived under what seemed a very real nuclear threat from the Soviets and their satellite countries.... more info

| | 3. |  | The Mission Song
from Back Bay Books
Price: $10.19
Customer Review:
It took him a few years, but Le Carre has realized that because the Cold War is thoroughly over he should find something else to write about. In the unipolar world he's gone left politically and south geographically, so like The Constant Gardener, which was a little better, this one is about creepy... more info

| | 4. |  | Smiley's People
from Scribner
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
Smiley's People was a bit beter for me than the others in the Karla trilogy.
But the trouble with it, like the others, is 1) its set in the cold war, in a dreary time for England (the malaise of the 1970s) and 2) its is devoid of setting.
The books don't have a reference - a way of... more info

| | 5. |  | The Honourable Schoolboy
from Scribner
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
There is little that I can add to previous reviews, except that I was there. Le Carre not noly did fabulous research, but a number of his characters are from real life. I've met Commercial Boris and Le Carre paints a great portrait of him. The whole mess in South East Asia is also perfectly... more info

| | 6. |  | The Constant Gardener: A Novel
from Scribner
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
I'm afraid "The Constant Gardener" has been lying around for many months on my night-time book shelf before I finally began to read it, even though Le Carre is one of my favorite writers of Cold War matters. I'm also afraid that for weeks I progressed very slowly in the book--I kept falling... more info

| | 7. |  | A Perfect Spy
from Scribner
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
A veteran spy named Magnus Pym disappears. A lot of his former co-workers are pretty stressed about this, because they think it is pretty strong evidence that he has been a long time double agent.
The novel is mostly told in the form of memoirs, particularly from his father, among others.more info

Customer Review:
They looked up and the times had changed and in the cold war where the
Soviets were twenty years ahead in spy craft.Bating Britain to bleed them,
the Soviets had their effort to hold against them in the press.
In James Bond British spies are near supermen, in Le Carre they are... more info

| | 9. |  | A Small Town in Germany
from Scribner
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
Technically this is one of Le Carrè's best novels. The compelling, labirynthine plot is embedded in an image of Germany which, while now dated, is both vivid and crafty. However, in my opinion, the book is marred by prejudice. Personally, knowing Germany pretty well, I instinctively share the... more info
