The Secret Pilgrim by John Le Carré [GEORGE SMILEY #8]

U.S. FIRST EDITION [1990] ALFRED A. KNOPF

Second Printing [before publication] / Jan. 1991

Hardcover with dust jacket in very good condition. 

Dust jacket is in great shape; a few very tiny sealed tears.  Looks gorgeous in a new HQ brodart jacket protector.

Book itself is excellent; reads as new. 

Nothing is as it was. Old enemies embrace. The dark staging grounds of the Cold War--whose shadows barely obscure the endless games of espionage--are flooded with light. The rules are rewritten, the stakes changed and the future unfathomable.
Ned has worked for the British Intelligence all of his life--a loyal, shrewd officer of the Cold War. Now approaching the end of his career, he revisits his own past. He invites us on a tour of three decades in the Circus, burrowing deep in the world of spies from every corner of the globe.

"Le Carre is simply the world's greatest fictional spymaster!"
