I love this kind of story, but the white on black type is so annoying as to make it unreadable. I understand that you may think that this technique suits the "noir" aspect of the subject matter, but, trust me, it doesn't work well is you want humans to read it.
That's a lot better. That kind of technique works well in small doses. And old Madison Avenue research from the 1970s concluded that it's not user friendly for most people. But anyway thank you.
This article is superb!
Thank you.
Great research and write up. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be recommending Espionage& to my subscribers.
Thank you, Mark.
There's a German TV show (Deutschland 83) whose first season is based on these events (Able Archer 83 and the ensuing Soviet escalation).
The best spy fiction always takes its cues from real life.
So exciting! So fascinating! Thank you for this!
Thank you.

Ah, I wasn’t exactly going for the noir look with that. I just find it easy on the eyes.
