“Best of Enemies: The Last Great Spy Story of the Cold War” is a non-fiction book written by Eric J. Haseltine, and it focuses on the complex relationship between two key figures during the Cold War era: KGB officer Oleg Gordievsky and CIA officer Aldrich Ames.

Oleg Gordievsky, born in Moscow in 1938, emerged as a pivotal figure in the Cold War’s intelligence arena. Rising through the ranks of the KGB, Gordievsky became disenchanted with the oppressive nature of the Soviet system. In a bold move, he chose to work secretly as a double agent, first for the British MI6 and later for the CIA. Gordievsky’s contributions proved invaluable, providing Western intelligence agencies with unprecedented insights into Soviet plans, strategies, and key figures. His information played a crucial role in shaping the policies of the United States and its allies during the later years of the Cold War, making him a key player in the last great spy story of that era.
