The Spy Who Came in from the Cold
''The Spy Who Came in from the Cold'' is a 1963 Cold War spy novel by British author John le Carré. It has become famous for its portrayal of Western espionage methods as morally inconsistent with Western democracy and values. The novel received critical acclaim at the time of its publication and became an international best-seller; it was selected as one of the ''All-Time 100 Novels'' by ''Time'' magazine. In 2006, ''Publishers Weekly'' named it the "best spy novel of all-time”.
In 1965, Martin Ritt directed the cinematic adaptation ''The Spy Who Came in from the Cold'', with Richard Burton as Alec Leamas.
==Background==
''The Spy Who Came in from the Cold'' occurs during the heightened-alert politico-military tensions that characterised the late 1950s and early 1960s of the Cold War, when a Warsaw Pact–NATO war in Europe (Germany) seemed likely. The story begins and concludes in East Germany, about a year after the completion of the Berlin Wall and around the time when double-agent Heinz Felfe was exposed and tried.
In ''Call for the Dead'', le Carré's debut novel, a key character is Hans-Dieter Mundt, an assassin of the Abteilung ("the Department"), the East German Secret Service, who is working under diplomatic cover in London. When uncovered by agents George Smiley and Peter Guillam of the British intelligence service "the Circus" led by "Control", he escapes from England to East Germany before Smiley and Guillam can catch him. Two years later, at the time of ''The Spy Who Came in from the Cold'', Mundt has risen from the field to the upper-echelon of the Abteilung, because of his successful counter-intelligence operations against the spy networks of the British secret services.
