'One of his most enthralling creations' Daily Telegraph Broke and working as a tour guide in Germany, rootless Englishman Ted Mundy catches a glimpse of an old friend hiding in the shadows. A friend he thought was lost to him. A friend who took him from radical 1960s Berlin to life as a double agent. Now, decades later, the Cold War is over and the war on terror has begun. Sasha has another mission for them both, but this time it is impossible to tell the difference between allies - and enemies. Set in a world of lies and shifting allegiances, Absolute Friends is a savage fable of our times. 'Thoroughly gripping' Sunday Times

Quite the gripping book. Well, it starts a wee bit slow, and I was wondering why the back cover blurp says Le Carré is “furious” in this book. Then I made it to the end of the book...
This is first a story of Cold War and the men who waged it, and then a fierce look to the new war that replaced the Cold War. John le Carré doesn't quite appreciate the new war, it seems.
