A descriptive study of the Russian purges of 1936–39 drawn from numerous personal experiences by a Soviet historian and a German scientist writing under pseudonyms, outlining the anatomy of the purge process including methods of selecting victims, securing denunciations, fabricating charges, and extracting confessions. The authors were Fritz Houtermans, a German physicist who had fled to the USSR and been imprisoned by the NKVD, and Konstantin Shteppa, a Kiev University historian who had been Houtermans's cellmate; they used pseudonyms to protect their friends and colleagues still in the USSR.
"Horne worked as a foreign correspondent for The Daily Telegraph from 1952 to 1955, stationed in Berlin. In 1953, he was recruited by MI6 and used his job as a journalist as a cover for his spying.
