summary	Gordon Corera’s The Spy in the Archive details the extraordinary story of Oleg Penkovsky, a former KGB officer who defected to the West in 1961 and provided crucial intelligence about Soviet missile deployments. The book meticulously reconstructs Penkovsky’s life, his motivations for defecting, and his complex and often strained relationship with Western intelligence agencies, particularly MI6. Corera highlights Penkovsky's unwavering commitment to sharing information, despite facing constant manipulation and suspicion from both the Soviets and the West. Ultimately, the book argues that Penkovsky’s intelligence significantly altered the course of the Cuban Missile Crisis, preventing a potential nuclear war. It’s a compelling narrative about espionage, deception, and the pivotal role of an unsung hero.
