The Cold War as You've Never Seen It Before

"There are, on rare occasions, books that have one raising an eyebrow in wonder at their marvelous execution, and no small envy at the talent involved. 'Degrees of Intelligence' is one such novel.

Armstadt...appears to be the spiritual offspring of Lillian Hellman and John le Carré. If you love a finely tuned literate work of superb storytelling, don't miss this one."

--Steven Hartov, New York Times

bestselling author of

The Soul of a Thief and The Last of the Seven

"In this thrilling romp through post-WWII Europe's shadowy circles of espionage, Miranda Armstadt illuminates the high-stakes government intrigue that flourished far from the spotlight of public scrutiny during the Cold War years.

Drawn from family letters and their real-life experiences, her painstakingly researched characters--and the often unscrupulous global intelligence organizations they worked for--

ring true, and will have you glancing over your shoulder for shady operatives everywhere you go."
