520 _aThe first volume of the Karla Trilogy, John le Carré's novel, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, contributes much to our knowledge of Intelligence Services during the Cold War, as the author was a former intelligence officer. Scrutinizing the book in detail, this contribution focuses on the organization of these shadow fighters, their psychology, and their group culture. It then studies the image of the enemy as it is described in the novel and identifies the motivations that pushed some of them, like Kim Philby, to become double agents.
