Now in paperback, Paul Lashmar’s Spy Flights of the Cold War is a
captivating account of the post.war development of aerial reconnaissance and
shows how effectively technologies can be harnessed as political tools. This
well-researched work reveals Kruschev’s apoplexy at the US’s ability to
penetrate Soviet airspace at will—at least until the first U2 spyplane was
famously shot down. Finding out what happened to the pilots makes this a
riveting read. Published by Sutton, £12.99, ISBN 0750919701.
