Yeah, Viktor Suvorov is pretty interesting writer. This guy was a KGB agent who escaped to the West and published a lot of books. Another his book worth checking out is "Aquarium" - about his path from a spetznaz operator to KGB and then to escape.

Viktor Suvorov was not KGB (secret police). He was GRU (Military Intelligence).

You are right. I read this book when I was a kid, already forgot the difference.

I found the tv production based on his book on youtube. Looks pretty interesting.
